Howdy, I have a P5N32-SLi Premium board & I have come to the conclusion that my memory isn't compatible, which annoys me because i did check it out...but obviously missed this lil part:

Dual-channel DDR2 800(OC) /667/533. http://www.asus.com/products3.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=337&slname=NVIDIA%C2%AE%20nForce%C2%AE%20590%20SLI%E2%84%A2%20Intel%20Edition

What does the OC mean? The memory I have is Corsair PC2-6400C4D (2x1gig dominator series).

I've read & searched alot on related topics & like others I am running on only one stick now as it randomly locks up or reboots in games otherwise. The memory runs fine in normal apps & runs 3dmark06 + memtest fine.


So, my main question is what is the OC? I assume it is overclock, but what is overclocked? My memory or cpu (atm it is all stock settings). Will it run at 800mhz if you overclock the cpu or what???

Going from amd to intel has been a pain :(
