Anyways, looks like my RAM is my limiting factor at this point. My question is, what's the best way to setup the RAM frequency, so that it doesn't get affected by the higher FSB? should I force it to DDR2-800 or 900 or so, or leave it in auto?

I want to shoot for 450fsb (4ghz) with 1.3Vcore, and let the ram timings and frequency be what they need to be to be stable here.

any help is appreciated!
With my ASUS P5K mobo the best memory setting are AUTO, believe or not!
Just try it on auto and if you cant get high FSB try to force it to lowest mhz (i think).
BTW: im not the very best overclocker so dont mind if im wrong
