Correlation between bus speed and memory speed on ASUS P5KPL-CM

[rattlegrass]

Hi, this is my first post so I hope I'm doing this right. I just purchased an ASUS P5KPL-CM motherboard that supposedly can achieve a front side bus speed of 1600Mhz through overclocking, but I'm not sure how that is achieved.

The motherboard has DDR2 1066 memory and the Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 processor has a front side bus speed of 1066Mhz. The bios allows me to select a DRAM Frequency between 667Mhz, 800Mhz, and 1067Mhz, I believe.

When I went into the BIOS and changed the DRAM Frequency setting from 800Mhz to 1067Mhz the computer became very noticably faster. My question is this... My CPU has a bus speed of 1066Mhz, but assuming I had a faster CPU with a 1333Mhz bus speed, my DRAM Frequency choices in BIOS would then be 667, 800, 1067, and probably 1333 or 1334. How would I get it to 1600Mhz?
This has really got me puzzled. Hopefully there's a OC guru our there that can explain this to me. Thanks!

As you guessed, this all goes to OC. However, I'm not good at OCs, but I can tell you that Google or Youtube may have info. on what you want.

Since you only want to increase the FSB on the Processor, I think that's not a major OC, making everything easier (I hope).

Again, try a search on the web and some online videos to help you. They have helped me in the past.
