Care to offer some reasoning for that?

I thought I posted this question in this topic, but I guess it was a new topic. Would still appreciate some help from people here. http://forums.anandtech.com/me...id=29&threadid=2100744

I have the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P board with one WD Raptor 74GB that I plan to use for OS/System disk, and two WD 750GB drives that I plan to use in a RAID-1 array. Question is, how to set this up. I read somewhere that the ICH9R is better/faster for RAID than the Gigabyte one, so it seems I...

Will increasing the voltage to 2.2 affect anything else, like the CPU or FSB, or something else? Basically, is there any side effects or gotchas?

In fact, I'm not even sure what the voltage rating means on memory. I'm looking at some 3-3-3-12 Crucial Ballistix 667 DDR2, which is rated at 2.2v. Does that mean it requires 2.2v or that its max voltage is 2.2? I may be an ignorant question, but I thought the the DDR2 spec required all DDR2...

So it appears I can easily do this. My only question then would be regarding memory voltage. What do I need to know. Should I get 1.8v or 2.2v memory, something else, or does it even matter?

I recall reading somewhere that for the Core 2 architecture, memory performance is better when running synchronously with the FSB, which would make 667 slower than 553 for a 1066 FSB.

Could you elaborate on that? I thought the memory ran better at a multiple of the FSB, e.g. for 1066 FSB, 533 is recommended, so I figured when bumping FSB to 1333, the natural memory speed would be 667. Where do you get the 375 from?

I haven't assembled a PC in nearly 6 years, and I'm finally getting ready to build a new one. I'm planning on getting a Gigabyte P35-DS3R MB with a Q6600. I've never overclocked before and wasn't really planning on it for this one, but the Gigabyte MB does not support 533 memory, only...
