My current OCZ DDr2 800 Platinum rev2 memory(based off the PROmos chip) is only stable @400mhz and OCed up to ~450mhz(ddr2 900)
and when I try to lower memory frequency to 333mhz(667) then overclocking till the memory reaches 388mhz(777) its unstable. I don't know why that would be.
Yet when I lower it even further to 266mhz(533) (1:1ratio) then overclock it to 309mhz(618) it is stable.
Timings are set by the mobo to standard timings such as 5-5-5-15 at 400mhz and I don't see a way of changing that in the bios.
So I assume this is a memory issue and I should be getting new memory.
Would D9G chip memory be what I need to achieve a 3.4ghz frequency? Could I get ram for under $100 after shipping that would be good enough?
(One problem I noticed was my mobo only allows me to incrase the fsb to 500mhz so maybe I need a new motherboard as well.)
