I finally found out how to set the ram to run @ a 1:1 ratio w/ the fsb 
Anyways, so I set the fsb to 225 and that put my cpu @ 3.15ghz, and the ram @ 225mhz. I relaxed the timings on the ram all the way just to be sure can't remember the exact timings, just put them as relaxed as they would go. So I boot into windows and all appears fine. I run the sissoft sandra memory bandwidth test and my score improved, compared to running my ram out of synch w/ my fsb. So I listen to a few songs on iTunes, take a shower and come back to my comp. I begin to run 3dmark2k1 to test stability and go away. When I get back it has some error on the screen (sry can't remember name). I hit cntrl + alt +delte and nothing. So I turn it off and set it back to the way I had it (the way it is in my sig w/ my ram out of synch w/ fsb). I then ran both 3dmarks (2k1 and 3) and both ran fine. Shouldn't my ram be able to handle that? It's the nice expensive corsair xms series stuff. http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-450&depa=0 <---- that's a link to the ram on newegg in case that helps. Is that too much of an oc for my ram? Or did I get crappy ram? Thx for any help in advance!
