Ram for overclocking

[Hamfunk]

I plan within the next 2 months to buy an athlon 64 3000+ venice and overclock with water cooling as far as i can go. Ive seem corsair PC4400 that run at 275Mhz, and OCZ PC4800 that run at 300Mhz, to reach 3Ghz on this processor (probably abit adventurous) i would need my ram running at 333Mhz, if i wasnt using memory dividers. I am quite new to overclocking and plan to research what i am gona do alot before i attempt it so any advice would be much appreciated. I plan to use swiftech H20 water cooling and the abit fatal1ty board. I know the processor can reach 2.8Ghz with stock cooling or so i have read/heard. Cheers!

2.8Ghz is NOT guaranteed !

MHZ is not always everything for ram... timings play a factor too

You do not have to run your memory that high. Using a divider is fine. You could even get value RAM and it will not limit your overclock. If you want high MHz get TCCD/TCC5. If you want tight timings go with UTT.
