no youre not overclocking the memory by tightening the timings, but it does make it faster. try lowering all the numbers in the BIOS, like CAS from 2.5 to 2 and Ras to Cas from 3 to 2 or wahtever. if system becomes unstable, relax the timings a little

your processors are locked, so you just have to increase the fsb in bios to oc your ram.

yeah, since pretty much everything in your computer is run by the bus speed. so when you are increasing your fsb you are increasing the speed of many of hte components in the system (cpu, ram, and pci/agp bus if not locked.)
