overclock details:

there is definitely hard limit on the ram
FSB overclocking is a dream. there is just something cool about forcing the entire cpu to operate faster by jacking up the ram bus, its very simple and direct, but highly effective.
having 4 sticks hardly makes any difference, the stability seems no different from my dual core e8400 (the x5450 is basically a quad core e8400)
3.76ghz is the max attainable OC, with hardly any increase in ram/cpu voltage. increasing these voltages does not matter after 3.7ghz mark anyway
not on this dell ram at least. i cant imagine much more, even on 4gb super elite corsair 9000 power ram
