Nope, unfortunetly.

The RAM FSB speed is set by the RAM itself when its installed, u can overclock the freqiencies, and try out some other tweaking with apps in you OS though.

You can't go higher than the FSB hitting your CPU. I always thought RAM ran at the FSB and if your RAM isn't able to run at the FSB it won't work unless you can fiddle with settings in the BIOS to slow down the FSB hitting the RAM.

I have PC2700 (FSB=166 mhz) memory in my PC. I have the FSB at 200 mhz (overclocking a Barton 2500) I just assumed my memory was overclocked too since it worked without any adjustments. I've never heard of RAM setting its own frequency. Again, I assumed, like CPUs, that PC2700 is guaranteed to run at 166 mhz but it might run at higher speeds too. What do you mean when you say you can overclock the frequencies? What other frequency is running through the RAM other than the FSB?

yep, you increase the speed of your fsb.

alternatively you can play around with the cas timings and interleave and stuff in the bios, but i have never done this so cant raelly say any more than that.
