Need affirmation on overclocking methods.

I'm about to order a new processor and want to be sure I understand the concept of overclocking by means of the fsb.

My current cpu is a BE and of course overclocking is way oversimplified. :eek:

I'm about to upgrade to an x6 and am torn between the 1090 and 1055. I'm worried that my ram/mobo may hold me back and if this is the case I'm just gonna go with the x6 BE. This was the main reason I went with the BE in the first place. I did mess around OC'ing my 550 by bumping the fsb, but really had no clue what I was doing. In other words I knew what settings to change in my bios but didn't 100% understand why or what was going on. I was able to achieve a decent overclock...If I remember right I got it from 3.1 to 3.6, stable.

I just want to be sure I'm understanding the process right.

You drop the frequency of the ram then raise the multi on the fsb right? When you drop the speed of the actual ram but bump the multi on the fsb the speed at which the ram operates goes back up right? In other words my ram is set at 1066 but when I overclock the fsb it is 1600...Do I have even a remote idea of what's going on or am I totally off base?
