One feature we have been including in our gaming system reviews is a set of tables to let you see how the system integrators get the performance out of their systems. Those of you who want to try overclocking and tweaking can take the settings below and get a rough estimate of how you can push your system faster, yet within the boundaries these builders guarantee. As you can see from the BIOS information, the processor has been overclocked using a faster front side bus frequency while maintaining a 11x multiplier. The memory is slightly overclocked and is running synchronously from the FSB clock frequency by a ratio of 3:4 (FSB to DRAM).
