This is what's confusing them. When you say "Using only the multiplication
factor" it implies to them that the 15/1 (the "multiplier") was changed to
something else; but it wasn't and, as people have noted, can't be changed
on P4s.

This is where the overclock was done: increasing the FSB clock from the
standard 200MHz to 240MHz. I.E. Using the non changeable 15x CPU multiplier
shown above, it was originally 15x200 for 3,000 MHz and is now 15x240 for
3,600 MHz.

This is your memory clock from the ratio below. 4/5 of 240=192
Technically this is not being used to 'overclock'. It's being used to keep
the memory at a speed that will work with the CPU overclock and is actually
under clocking the memory by a small amount [((192/200)-1)*100 = -4%].
