Hello,
I have a question regarding overclocking and running one's bus & memory asynchronously.
First Question: Is it not better for the system to run the memory and bus in synch. i.e. 1 to 1
Second Question: By running the bus higher than the given memory can support but using a divider is not a large bottleneck in the system created as a result.
third: would it not be better to clock down the memory a bit and then run the bus/memory in 1:1 instead of say 5:4
This is in relation mostly to the P4C's b/c i am walking down the path of buying one and was curious as to what happens if the chip can go higher but the ram is peetering out i.e. like in this article which uses OCZ 3700 (my memory of choice i *think*) http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/print/p4-2400c-oc.html
Thanks
