Cracking research! So what I'm hoping for then, given: "What they need is low latency DDR2-800" is that my four 800 sticks can stably handle the tight timings proposed. Fingers crossed. Thanks dude!

Great tip re: using memtest first to check stability before going further. According to a check I did will RAMMon (free), the sticks are running at 800 currently, so that bodes well for this proposed overclock! So would you suggest changing the 4 CAS/RAS timing settings to those proposed by the...

Firstly, dude, thank you. Mate this is so helpful, and it's so rare to have someone write it all out, rather than trying to wok it out oneself through inference. So, to make sure I've understood it as much as anything: Your proposal: CPU Clock Ratio (Note)____________ [X8] <<<----CPU...

Righty, so now I'm at home & can confirm my spec, it seems like potentially all 4 chips could potentially run at these settings that the guy I'm copying did: "with final F4 bios I'm doing 9 x 400 / E6600 retail cas 4-4-4-12 / 2 gb 667 @ ddr800 el cheapo ram / all on air and 100% silent CPU...

Why the 4gb threshold? Don't get me wrong - i bought the extra sticks precisely because 2gb was becoming limiting (albeit only because of firefox, thunderbird & the occasional Rhythmbox memory holes), but it interesting to hear you put a specific number on it.

Thanks - glad it wasn't me getting confused there! Ok, i'll give that a go. Cheers. So, out of interest, which did you mean was more important - speed or volume of RAM? For reference, I dual boot xubuntu & windows XP, and don't play games on it (any more. adulthood. boo.)

My assumption, from the reading, was that one needs to OC the memory as part of the general OC, to attain higher speeds... otherwise why would people bother at all? Conceptually, then, it'd be worth my while investigating what my likely highest attainable OC is on stock clock RAM, in order to...

Hi all, Complete OC noob but been doing tons of reading. Nearly ready to start but for this one thing: I have 4 sticks of RAM, in 2 different flavours. Originally I bought: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148069 Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066...

hmm. i *have* a powered usb port, with room on it.... i'll give that a go. cheers!

also - xHDD is plugged into the front ports, wireless adapter into the back. don't know if that's important.

mains plug

Tried to look around the web for this but it's one of those that's hard to write a good query for, y'know? So I've finally twigged that when I plug my external hard drive into my front USB port, my net connection drops. I connect via usb to a WG121 netgear wireless adapter, which varies...

working fine so far.... a phrase i'm getting used to!

but then failed. windows wireless icon still present, but offline: can't find any wireless networks. Tried re-searching a number of times but didn't come up. Repaired the connection but no joy. Unplugged from usb port 2 & tried 3: device not recognized. no driver. tried pointing to the driver...
