overclocking basics

[poly4life]

OK, I must admit, I'm very inexperienced when it comes to overclocking. I have a dual-channel mobo, so overclocking on my board is different than a uni-channel mobo. But before I can begin to overclock on my board, I need to understand the basics of overclocking and what is the meaning of the terminology (i.e. understanding significance of CPU/RAM ratio). Are there any sites that go through a step-by-step process of overclocking, effectively teaching you the significance of each step and why your doing this(as opposed to some guide just saying do "this" step but not explaining why)?

Thank you.
