whats a good fsb:ram ration for overclock?

The best ratio is 1:1, but you need to have fast RAM in order to achieve that. You would need DDR2-1066 or better in order to have a 1:1 ratio if you keep everything stock.

But the lower the ratio, the better. Try keeping it simple, like 1:2, 2:3, etc. And not like 14:17.

mine is synced with my CPU (which is what you want) but CPUz says its CPU/10.

There is a difference between being synced and being a 1:1 ratio. Synced just means that as the FSB raises, so does the RAM speeds, but there is still a ratio that it uses.
