no the cpu max internal clock is 3.3ghz (according to 3dmark06). have not played with the memory settings yet, not sure how to do that as this is my true first cpu that has been worth trying to overclock.

everything i have done has just been to the cpu in the bios.

AMD rigs differ slightly from intel in regards to OCing, instead of FSB i think they have a HT link.

if you never touched you RAM settings then its fair to assume your RAM speed is increasing as you raise the CPU speed..... hopefully an AMD OCer can confirm this..

but i wouldn't bother touching the RAM frequency, its pretty high for ''pc5300'' as it is......
you could try & change the timings from CL5 to CL4 (it may need a voltage boost, but be careful RAM is always the first component to die), personally i'd leave it where it is until you get faster sticks.

Yes!! the ram clock will go up a little when ozing an amd rig. its a little tricky to do this because when raising the fsb the whole system gets oz'd. unless you are able to only raise the cpu's internal clock. Black Edition AMD cpus come with an ulocked cpu clock.
when ocing ram timings in an AMD rig make take in cosideration that if you already ocd the fsb the ram cloxk is oc'd to. so when tunning the timings in your ram do it little by little. it can be tedious work but finding the best combination os numbers is all we worth it in the end. And most inportant is to have an stable system. i Rather have a modestly OC'd and stable system than a super oc'd an unstable one.
