can you over clock a i7-920 to >4GHz with 12GB RAM?

I'm wondering, because I'm going to be building a box with max memory...

if ruby can do it with her eyes closed and at 1t timings i see why not as long as u have great ram.

I'm running my Xeon W3520 at 4.0 right now with HT turned on and 12 GB....

what ram to get???

 

[PsiStar]

yup ...

ya I think the biggest question is the motherboard and the quality of ram you have.

Shouldn't be an issue, I never had any problems with 12gb.
