Memory dividers on with Core 2 Duo motherboards

[deanx0r]

Hi,

From what I read, you cannot overclock Core 2 Duo CPU with cheap ram as the P965 and 975X chipsets do not support memory divider. You cannot run the FSB faster than the ram, which has to run 1:1.

Can anyone demystify the statement above?

Also, I came across some BIOS screenshots that show adjustments of the RAM frequency. Do those act as memory dividers on Intel systems?

I think no one has replied because there is so much wrong with the post one cannot figure out where to start.
