    P5K Deluxe/RTL8187 WiFi Ping Spikes

    Athlon 64 3500+ (90nm) MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 Gold VX Default - PC-3200 (400 MHz, 2-3-3-8, 2.6V): 11 x 200 = 2200 MHz Overclocked - PC-4000 (500 MHz, 2-2-2-8, 3.3V): 9 x 250 = 2250 MHz 1.] The CAS latencies and voltages for the RAM are from OCZ's site. I'm assuming...
