I learned that the graphics from an apu heavily rely on the speed of the ram, so i decided to oc my ram to 1866 mhz, can i still oc it to 2133? i also read some ram overclocking saying something like 7-7-7-10 <-what is that all about?

Max voltage on most ram is 1.75v on air and more with LN2 and extreme cooling. I've pushed my Triddents to DDR3 3000 with 1.7v but i would not recommend that with low end sticks. Keep the voltage at 1.65v

Ram speeds because of the timing have equivalent speeds at 2800 and 800 mhz. I recommend not even overclocking it, DDR3 speed is DDR3 speed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWgzA2C61z4
