overclocking XMS Corsair PC2700

[Titanion]

I have a stick on a computer where I cannot push the bus above 167... but I am going to move it to a computer where my bus is currently at 195... so how far can I push this stick of ram... is getting to 175 reasonable... will I have to lower timings and add voltage to get this ram there... or because it is good ram, can it take it...

At newegg in the reviews people claim to have this ram up to 200 or so... is this BS... I would be happy to get it to 185... but now I have my hopes up...

Hmm....would it be worth it to buy a stick of XMS 3200? You might be limiting your sys with the 2700.

I currently have a stick of XMS pc2700 in my system running at 167.... but I cannot overclock this computer... I plan to move it to my 2nd computer when I upgrade... my 2nd computer can be overclocked...

Please post your results. I would like to see how the pc2700 compairs to the pc3200. Newegg has the Corsair XMS pc3200 512mb for $109 and the XMS pc2700 for $95. Can you post what mobo and cpu's your using?
