I have a question that may seem a little stupid. I'm not a newbie in general, although this is my first Athlon system that I've overclocked.
I'm confused by the way the Asus mobo allows you to set the memory. I set the memory at a particular memclock setting and then it seems to (almost randomly, but not quite) assign it's own memory divider to base the memory speed on the CPU. I understand the use of a memory divider, but I'm confused as to what I am actually selecting when I select the memclock setting as it seems like the end result can only be obtained by trying different settings and seeing what the bios decides to do. Does anyone have a comprehensive understanding of the factors involved and know of a way to actually predict what the actual memory speed will be when the system boots up?
