Q1.

I guess this says everything. Actually teh manual is of no help...I currently have a E6600 9*390 FSB = 3.510GHz. My RAM is 667MHz DDR2 rated (I know, I should get some 800 stuff) with F4 BIOS.

And my Mem multiplier is x2, so that's 780MHz (DDR2). What I want is to be able to use say a 4:3 divider or some such to run the RAM slower than the FSB....

Any ideas? I'm utterly confused as to how to get dividers out of these memory multipliers...

Q2. Why is it that alot of people are using lower CPU mulipliers and goin for high FSBs (450+)...what are the advantages here or is it cause it's 'easier' to overclock more this way? Of course this would call for some large dividers to keep the RAM stable.

Thinking of giving F5c a try soon...

Thanks!
