Can "Value" Ram be used to get good overclocks?

[teutonicknight]

I'm thinking of getting the new 90nm 3000+, MSI Neo2, and overclocking the heck out of it. Just wondering though: all the reviews I'm reading are using premium ram, can I get by using Value rated ram?

The Ram I'm thinking of getting:

Anyway, question is: Can I get a ~40% overclock with this kind of value ram?

Save yourself a few bucks and get the singles...

I paid $73.XX a piece for mine last week...$70.27 each is really good, $140 vs $156 for basically the same exact ram.

So yes?

no that ram will probably give you around 220-230mhz ar CL3. Mine will only do 220 at 2.8v at CL3 so don't expect a big OC out of these things. But all you have to do is run the memory at a slower speed than the FSB and your set. Thats what I do.

from what I hear it's fine unless you want high score to post on here; otherwise, it's cool.

Do A64's not take the big performance hit that socket A systems do when running RAM/FSB async?

I got premium ram, -have to clock it down from specs to run stable. From now on, I'll get cheaper ram.. just NOT Kingston.

Last I checked they lost almost no performance running async because of the on die memory controller.
