I just overclocked my CPU to 4Ghz... Seems to be running great. in CPU-Z though i see it fluxuate from 4000.3 to 3999.9... is this a side effect of overclocking? i've never seen a stock CPU fluxuate like that =]

Anyways, the memory im having a hard time with, i've played with the voltages and timings trying to get a FSB:DRAM ratio of 1:2 and 4-4-4-8 timing... only because thats what i've read was a good thing to have... right now i have a 10:18 ratio with 4-4-4-8 timing with a bank cycle time of 20 clocks. To be honest i dont even know what all that means, but the frequency is coming in at 360Mhz... and seems a bit high no?

Am i alright with my current settings? Or should i tinker with the DRAM settings some more?
 
as for the fluctuation, Its normal, as my AMD processor fluctuates between 2.277 and 2.802 all the time. Im clocked at 2.800 and it always waivers a little......If you find out the cause let me know. As for the timings and all that, im not an expert so I wont comment.....sorry
