Motherboard designers, memory manufacturers, and proprietors of performance hardware have been working hard to make modern system overclocking absolutely easy. Intel - central to all of this and largely responsible for what we here at The Tech Repository would call the "Golden Era of Overclocking" - is moving faster than ever in a effort to openly and publicly embrace the online enthusiast community. Even though this rush of progress is truely satisfying, the flash of recent success has left a somewhat rather large void of comprehension. Like with so many things in life, there must be a distinction between mere accomplishment and fundamental understanding. If your overclocking goals include nothing more than the desire for the absolute highest CPU clock speed possible then this article isn't for you. But if you want to know more about what really makes a great performance system, then we invite you to read on. The satisfaction of true accomplishment awaits.
When we last talked about memory we ended our investigation on a rather incomplete note. As you may recall, we lightly explored memory frequency and timings - focusing mainly on one of the more domineering specifications, CAS - and noted how several settings must co-exist in establishing what can prove to be a rather significant factor in overall system memory access latency. If you're not familiar with the concept of converting a relative memory timing rating to an actual time delay then you should review our earlier post (linked above) before continuing. Much of this article will build upon this seemingly innocuous abstraction.
Caught this on The Tech Repository's forums and it's one of the most useful guides and tool ever seen. Too bad it's for only Intel users. I'm saving a copy of the tool and the guide itself.

Kudos to Kris @ freecableguy for busting his gut doing this guide
