RAM importance in OCing

lets say i wanted to run a 3000 winchester @ a HTT of 265, does that mean the memory has to run at 265.

yes it does, unless you use a divider (such as a 5:4 divider which would put your ram at 212)

No you can run a divider say 3:4 and have the memory run at around 200mhz.

is there a disadvanteg in running a divider?

It's a small performance decrease maybe 3% probably less. It's not noticable though

That's a huge overclock. You would need at least PC3700 to run at 265 at a 1:1 ratio which you would want.
