Nope. It has about five different Bios's you can save. Overclock too far and seize the machine, just reboot and select a different Bios.

Geil Memory pretty good value stuff

Hi,

Geil ram seems to be the best value for money as OC's do 1GB Dual channel for about £100. And it has a heat spreader on it (I assume this is better than one without)

I think my MB is dual channel enabled (it's an intel 800FSB HyperThreading).

Do I have to do anything to enable the dual thing when I put the memory in, or is it automatic?

As long as its all the same speed. dont worry about it. it will read as ddr as is.
