Could overclocking my FSB decrease the speed of my memory? Without doing any significant changes to my software, it seems that i'm always running out of RAM... i have 2 GB. And yet its always near 98%. I went from a 200 mhz FSB to a 220 mhz while keeping my multiplier @ a constant 13x. HT link went from 800 mhz to 880 mhz.
Thanks for any help

Seems like you're a bit confused.

1) AMD doesnt use FSB.

2) The CPU speed has nothing to do with memory utilization of your programs.

3) Vista is using that memory to pre-fetch your commonly used programs. It isn't really using 98% all the time.
