The HTT bus speed of that 3200+ on a NF4 if LTD/FSB ratio is set to AUTO is 5 times 200 or 1000HTT bus speed times 2 for a DDR rating of 2000 for Dual channel NF4 boards. If you set the LTD/FSB ratio to x5 the HTT bus speed itself will again be 1000x2 or DDR2000 the Default for Dual channel NF4 chipset boards.

Again leaving CPU/FSB Ratio at the default of 10 for your 3200+ and leaving the FSB Bus Frequency at the stock 200 and changing the LTD/FSB Frequency to X3. You will then have a processor running at its default of 2000mhz same as always. The memory will still be running at 200 (DDR400) and NOW the HTT bus speed though will be 3 X 200 = 600 HTT bus speed times 2 for a DDR HTT bus speed of 1200 or 800 under the default HTT bus speed. Now that is how that works.

Now that is how the Dual channel 939 processor works and is in effect how you figure the HTT bus speed which in effect has little to do with an overclock as long as it is around 2000.
