I have my multiplier set to 8.5 and my ddr400 memory on the divider so that it 333.
My memory is overclocked to ddr490, and everything is stable. I read that is bad to do .5 multipliers, but everything seems to be working good. memtest shows that my memory is actually running at ddr490, so is it really not since I am using 8.5

always refrain from using half multipliers

"CPU/FSB Frequency Ratio
This is your CPU multiplier.. This times your HTT\FSB is how you get your CPU frequency..

**Important note**
On all a64 systems it is not recommended to use half multipliers ( i.e. 8.5,9.5,10.5) because this will put your ram on a ratio which means it will be running slower then you think and not the same as you have your HTT\FSB set to no matter what..

A quote here from Wild shows what happens to your ram speed when using half multis…
