I have 2 sticks of 256mb PC2100. I'm running at 2.5-3-3-7 (I think) @ ~317mhz. But I can't go any higher without overvolting. My question is, I am hesitant to use overvolt on non-performance RAM, what voltages are you running your PNY at?!? thx - I need to hit 3.0

Yeah, that's cool that it goes so high. I wanna hit 3.0ghz, which means I have to hit 166/333...
But I don't wanna overvolt if it is gonna waste the RAM, the lower quality stuff generally doesn't take well to it in my experience.

Anyone?

my pny 2100 is currently running @ 2.77v. its set to the lowest available in the bios (2.6) but the board gives it 2.77. When I first hook up the comp, default setting was 2.8 in the bios and MBM5 read 2.99. damn abit nf7-m! are you saying i am killing my ram @ 2.77v? there is no way for me to lower it anymore. :frown:

by the way, my pc2100 is running @ 328 3-3-3-8

I'm running my generic Samsung DDR400 at 2.80V, (2.6 std), you should be fine.
