Ok... here's what I understand thus far...
2.4c = 12x 200Mhz
2.6c = 13x 200Mhz
2.8c = 14x 200Mhz
I'm planning to use a 2.8c, so if I want a 20% OC, I would need to raise the FSB to 240Mhz (x14) = 3.36Ghz
It's best to keep the RAM synced to the FSB correct? (1:1 as opposed to 5:4 or 3:2) In order to keep the RAM Synced, I would need 480Mhz Ram (2 x 240Mhz)
My question is, for the RAM, could I use PC3200 (400Mhz) with stock timings of 2-3-2-7, and lower the timings to 3-4-4-8, and achieve a (large) 20% RAM OC?
Or could I use PC3700 (466Mhz) and do a small OC up to 480Mhz?
Or would I have to use PC4000 (500Mhz) in order to keep the RAM synced?
Have I got this stuff straight? Any input would be great!
