Hello, I have a question if someone would be so kind to help me! My PC spec is ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe MB, xp 3700+ CPU, 1.75gig DDR400 Kingston cheapo ram! (need so save up for better). I read about people over clocking the the 3700 and found most found it stable at 250Mhz, so i got bench marking and stopped at 250Mhz and all is good! iv been using this setting for about a year or so now with no problems. But i noticed in the DRAM config options in the bios setting that the memory (on auto settings) is only running at 333fsb if i roll back the cpu clock speed back to 200 is goes upto 400fsb. If i manually change it to 400fsb with the CPU at 250Mhz the pc will simply not start up. I read in this forum that when you overclock the CPU the memory over-clocks as well. My question is should i leave the memory as it stands or tweak?
Thanks
