Overclocking Question.

[Brutuz]

What RAM would be best for Overclocking a Core 2 Duo E6320 to 3Ghz?
DDR2-667 to save Money (Would that get me there in other words) Or DDR2-800 to make sure that I can get to 3Ghz on the CPU
This will probably go in a 680i Mobo.

Assuming you run the RAM with a 1:1 ration with the FSB...the DDR2-667 will allow you to OC the CPU to 2.33GHz without OCing the RAM. DDR2-800 will allow you to get to 2.8GHz without OCing the RAM.

If you want to reach 3.0GHz, you'll be MUCH better off with DDR2-800...you'll have to push the FSB to 429MHz, which will put the RAM at 858MHz (DDR)...most DDR2-800 will run at this speed with a little extra voltage. But you'll have very little chance of getting there with DDR2-667.

Thanks, you just made help with my Ultimate System upgrade (Well, Ultimate for me )
