Well thanks for that Alf, but I will leave any answers for the people that actually "dare" to do such things ... me, I just go and 'upgrade' to a faster system.

At least I'm please you are paying attention to details.

 
I'm not grouchy by nature, it takes constant effort.

I use OCZ PC4200 (533MHz) RAM Which will run at CAS2 @ 200fsb and Cas 2.5 for a midrange Overclock and CAS 3 for BIIIGGG overclocks...

The limiting factor to my overclocking has ALWAYS been my CPU.

Pricey though, i paid £140.41 for 512Mb

 
EVGA 680SLi Motherboard, Intel E6600 LGA775 3.4GHz OC'd, ATI Radeon HD 5850 1024Mb, 4Gb Corsair XMS C4 2x Matched Pairs, Samsung Spinpoint's 740Gb RAID 0 SATAII, Antec Three Hundred Case, Windows 7 Home Premium.

anything above PC3200 will be fine for overclocking.

Its not ocing the Ram, ocing the CPU. right now i have a AMD 3000+ barton core (non 64 bit) and ive gotten it stable at 2.3 GHz but i wish to get it stable at 2.4
