Overclocking a Single Stick of RAM

[xplice]

Hi. I have been trying to overclock my brothers rig and have been having some strange issues. Specs:

MSI K8N Diamond
1x1GB Hynix DDR400
A64 939 3200+
6800 Ultra

I can push the FSB up to about 220 with no problems but when i try to underclock the RAM so that i can push the CPU even further BIOS wont post. Even if i leave the FSB at 200 and then try to underclock the ram from 200 to 180 or 166 the BIOS wont post.

Has anyone experienced this before?

Does the RAM need to be in Dual Channel Mode (ie get another stick) to allow me to overclock / underclock the RAM against the FSB?

Thanks!

A single stick of RAM should always be easier to overclock than 2 sticks.

I'm not sure on the part on the BIOS not posting when you underclock the RAM.
