    I'm aware of this, I'm not five years old. That's why it's called 'Double Data Rate'.

    I'll have a look at this, I always thought the chipset used a divider to run the RAM at a lower speed (667 RAM, 800 CPU).

    It does use a divider, but it's still run off the fsb, just via a divider, so o/c'ing the fsb will still o/c the ram

    as theriko said its locked to the system bus on intel chipsets.. nvidia chipsets can run with the ram at different speeds. on desktop mobos some allow you to set the divider for the ram.. but not on this system

    no that sounds about right... that would mean technically the ram is running at 375 which is just slightly oc'ed

    For some reason, my 9300 doesn't like 3.0Ghz, because 2 sec after I started Orthos I saw the beautiful BSOD. It might be because I had too many apps already running, later I might try killing all apps and rerunning Orthos, but I'm very pleased with 2.8.

    Yep, I just tried it and saw that the RAM oc'd too. It's no sweat for mine though since I have 800MHz RAM.
