instead of learning to OC it when i get it, it'll probably be wise to learn the basic of it first and when i get this chip on monday, i can apply it to OCing. i skimmed some of the n00b guides, and a few questions came to mind. running the HT frequency and NB frequency in sync is beneficial, but how important is it for real world applications? will it actually increase the computational power? or will it be almost useless sort of like tweaking the memory and triple channel on the i7? and i'm assuming AMD platform is not limited to 1.65v memory only right? i can use older ddr3 2.0v memory?
