Heya

got a bit lost and confused with all the settings.

whats the best way to overclock when I also have the SLI enabled memory?
wouldnt that affect the front side bus settings?

I found this articlehttp://www.tomshardware.com/2007/11/08/dual_vs_quad/page16.html on tomshardware but it doesnt consider SLI enabled mem, and I want to take advantage of it since I did buy it.

if you have good settings for overclock to 3.2GHz, please share.
Thanks

P.S.
TH page says they had to increase voltage, but this page says they got there withouth voltage increase (paragraph right after pics) http://www.hothardware.com/articles/Asus_Striker_Extreme_Nvidia_nForce_680i_Motherboard/?page=4

It sounds like you're a bit confused about the nature of SLI/EPP memory, which isn't surprising given all the marketing speak out there. SLI/EPP memory is just an extension of the SPD standard that stores additional pre-tested memory speed/timing/voltage settings in the DIMM module. If you're already changing settings manually (which it sounds like you are), it doesn't really serve any purpose.
