Could someone explain this setting in the BIOS to me? I've heard it has something to do with error correction, and you should disable it if you're overclocking. Anyone care to explain it?

It's a feature where the operating frequencies are varied slightly to reduce interference with other nearby electronic devices. Turning it off may help stability slightly in extreme overclocks.
