I recently installed this board, however my ram appears to not be great for overclocking.

I have two sticks of Corsair xms512-3200c2pt memory. But whenever I try to overclock the FSB, the memory matches the same speed. And fails memtest when I go over 200.

Is there any option to lock the ram speed at 200mhz? I know the bios claims its supposed to not go higher than what you set, but it doesn't, it still matches the overclocked cpu speed. This bios is the most confusing I have seen....

I am using it with a AMD64 2800+ cpu. I mainly just wanted to overclock to 2ghz speed.

So far I haven't been all that impressed with the benchmarks compared to my previous Athlon 1700 overclocked to 2ghz. I think I would have seen better results with a new video card.

all you can do is use the ratio's...

use the 5:6 ratio to keep your ram running at a lower speed than your HT
