Memory issues when OCing 5200+

[arges86]

Could overclocking my FSB decrease the speed of my memory? Without doing any significant changes to my software, it seems that i'm always running out of RAM... i have 2 GB. And yet its always near 98%. I went from a 200 mhz FSB to a 220 mhz while keeping my multiplier @ a constant 13x. HT link went from 800 mhz to 880 mhz.
Thanks for any help

AMD Athlon athlon 64 X2 5200+ @ 2862 MHz
Mobo: Gigabyte gigabyte M57SLI-S4 w/ nForce 570 SLI chipset
RAM: Mushkin PC2-6400 DDR2 ddr2 /800
OS: Vista 64bit

Seems like you're a bit confused.

1) AMD doesnt use FSB.

2) The CPU speed has nothing to do with memory utilization of your programs.

3) Vista is using that memory to pre-fetch your commonly used programs. It isn't really using 98% all the time.

even w/ superfetch disabled?

Close some programs or buy more memory.

4G of memory performs very well with Vista64 but 2G is really not enough, 2G is fine for the 32bit operating systems but not the 64bit.
