DDR PC4000?

What motherboards support PC4000? I haven't seen many around. Can you get PC4000 speeds from PC3200-rated mobo by overclocking?

I have GA-K8NXP-9 mobo and I'm about get myself new set of ram. Is it any use to buy PC4000? The mobo has PC3200 specs but can I overclock it to PC4000?

Thanks,

The reason you dont see boards marketed as PC4000 is that AMD doesnt officially have a 250MHz chip. Pretty much every PC3200 board will accept PC4000 since the memory technology is identical. The issue is whether you can utilise the full speed & that depends on whether the board supports overclocking to 250MHz HTT & beyond. Googling for reviews on your board would suggest that it isn't a great overclocker, although someone had theirs stable at 261MHz HTT on Tomshardware forum. I have PC4000 memory but run at 229MHz because of divider limitations. I had hoped they might overclock high enough to get 1:1 with the cpu at 275-280 HTT but no such luck. It still takes the lottery out of overclocking PC3200 as it's even more of a hit or miss with 2Gb kits.
