You can use http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html to find out what speed your memory is running at.

This appears to be Windows only. I only have Linux.

Sorry I missed that.

I'm sure that, when I set the multiplier to 42 (or higher), I really was overclocking - my temperatures (and instability) indicated as much. Perhaps I mixed up which benchmark was which.

I'm still struggling to find time. When I do, I'll redo all the benchmarks.

Thanks. Turns out I already have dmidecode installed. When I have the time to return to this, I'll play around with it.
