Hi all
I've been overclocking my comp over the last week for the first time and I'm still pretty lost in regards to this RAM multiplier/timing thing. When I log into the BIOS I see:
CPU CLock Ratio x9
CPU Host Frequency 377
System Memory Multiplier (SPD) 2.66D
Memory Frequency (Mhz) 800, 1005
DRAM Timing selectable 5-5-5-15
DDR2 Overvoltage Control +30
CPU Voltage Control 1.4+ (I'm still lifting this trying to get it to be stable?)
What I'm trying to understand is what I should change the System Memory Frequency too, to get the best use of my RAM and if and how I should change my timings to make my system more stable. I ran memtest and I had no error but beyond that I'm really unsure of what else I should do? I've put a picture of my setting through CPUZ so hopefully that makes it clear.

My system spec:
Q6600
X48-DQ6
5128800GTS
2x2GB OCZ DDR21066
Antec 850W TruePower Quattro
V1 Thermaltake
I've read about a dozen guide, but this RAM thing just wont seem to make sense to me. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
If you know of any other sites that explain it for a beginner to feel free to link them. I would love to actually understand what I'm doing!
Cheers
