hi guys,

When I o/c the FSB to 110Mhz, I know that everything like the AGP/PCI/IDE is o/c-ed. For my Gainward GF3 Ti200, the program (that came with gainward) says it still runs at 200/450. shouldn't it be 220/495? Or the actual core/mem speed is independent with FSB for vid cards?

Thx in advance

Its independent.
At 100MHZ FSB to get 66MHZ AGP bus speed, chipset uses a 2/3 "multiplier"
(actually a 1/3 PCI bus divider times 2)
Therefore the bus the card has to feed is now at 110X.66666 = 73.36 MHZ
Geforce cards can go up to 99MHZ AGP bus fairly successfully, but your Harddrive @ 49.5 wont fare so well.
