Please explain what does adding more RAM have to do with OCing the processor.

My P5B Deluxe doesn't do that afaik 
Mine Does. Not every restart, but it is very safe in that sense.
yeah its safe. And its just a small beep to let you know.. just press F1 and the booting continues. I hardly ever restart so I don't care

No, unless you find some software and the PID for your motherboard. But doing it this way is very risky, and even if it does work you will only get a few MHz with it.
Been there, done that, voided the warranty on my Intel mobo.. sent it in and they said "can't help you.. physical damage". There were burn marks on it despite it having
immediately froze causing me to reboot in 5 seconds and there being no burning marks at the time
As soon as I hit reboot, I never got the display back.
EVER. Checked my GC and it was fine. Neither the on board display point nor my graphic card would give me output..
So I went out and bought an Asus Mobo.. never been happier since
Moral of the story: OCing through software is VERY risky and is not recommended unless your Mobo Manufacturer provides you with a software to do it (I remember kao had an MSI board which allowed him to do that).
Unless you have an enthusiast board and RAM/processor/cooling that can take the OC, I suggest you don't do it. In my system, the bottleneck is certainly the RAM. It goes from 800->900MHz and that's it. Any higher and it refuses to boot
