hi, i want to up grade to p4 2.4 533mhz .so i wanted to know if i can overclock this pc to 2.8 without any problems
if yes which kind if ram do you recommend me ... i thought of buying twinmos/spectek as there are the only ones which are easy to get :( in my place . will it be possible to overclock with this types of rams.... oh the m/b will be an asus p4pe or p4pe bp. so again i ask can i achieve this with these rams and without additional cooling ?

if you want huge overclocks with the 2.4Bs, you want to get a Costa Rica SL6RZ, or an SL6EF, also from Costa Rica

if you're gonna run the intel 845PE chipset, just get the highest speed ram you can. DDR433 (pc3500) is preferable.
if you buy ram rated at that speed, you will be able to run it without additional cooling.
