Why in gods name would he want to do that? If your suggesting underclocking memory just to alleviate a potential NB bus bottleneck thus allowing a slightly higher fsb then YOU ARE INSANE. He'll be capped by heat way before he reaches that point with those cpus.

When you increase the system bus speed, you increase the speed of all of the following:

The processor (unless you reduce the processor clock multiplier)
The chipset
The memory bus
The system cache
The system memory
The integrated IDE hard disk controllers
The PCI bus
The ISA bus
Every peripheral connected to either the PCI or the ISA bus

Not if you disable the link ratio. Memory bus speed and fsb bus speed are independent though by default and bios configuration will have them linked so if they are linked then your right increasing fsb would increase memory frequency as well.

These are all on the SB not NB. As such increasing NB or fsb frequency would not affect them at all.

If you do not believe me here is what I would like you to do. Go to overclockers.com forums and repost what you just said. Increasing NB or FSB frequency does not affect memory bus frequency. They do however all increase stress on the chipset if that is what you meant (maybe you meant to use the word stress instead of frequency).

"...FSB (or the Front Side Bus) is one of the easiest and most common ways to overclock. The FSB is the speed at which the CPU interfaces with the rest of the system. It also affects the memory clock, which is the speed the memory runs at."

Yes, but not all the mbs have this feature.

*facepalm* Every consumer mobo will have this. Brand name systems from dell, hp, etc. might have it locked but other than that their is no reason you can't set fsb and memory frequencies seperatly, every cpu overclocker knows that!

Partially true. The FSB connects the cpu to the NB. And it only affects memory frequency if the memory frequency is set to "linked" (which has nothing to do with hardware dependency), no sane overclocker would raise fsb with memory set to linked.

Facepalm!, the guy is a newbie in the overclocking world, he need all the possible info you know.

Can you clean that sentence up a bit? It's unclear who your talking about. "The guy" could refer to just about anyone.

Hey there, could someone possibly help me with overclocking aswell?

Specs.

Acer Aspire x1200

Nvidia 8200 mGpu: AM2 Athlon x2 5000+ 2.6ghz

4gb ddr2 ram

Windows 7 64-bit

Radeon 4550 graphics card with 512mb ddr3

Are all of your parts stock? Because with a stock power supply motherboard, and air coolers form a brand name you won't be able to OC enough for it to be worth it.

Hi,

Will I have any trouble with overclocking? My specs are in my sig, and I can't take a picture of my motherboard since I don't want to open up my iMac, being the lazy person I am

[obscured]

If your bios allows it.
