that's a good point... if OC ups the FSB, don't you need memory to match the higher FSB? And if you dont, isn't it pointless to OC?

It's good to keep the RAM up to speed, with the FSB, as a 1:1 ratio, like I mentioned before.

ok, b1gapl, how do you OC a graphics card?

*edit*

and if you do, what is the life expectancy of an OCed graphics card vs. that of a non-OCed graphics card?
