Will higher quality ram improve overclockablity??

[DioCassius]

Currently I have cas3 pc100 ram. Will getting some cas2 133-150 ram help overclock. right now i have a tbird 800 at 8.5x111=944. thanx

I suggest you change to a higher multiplier. Unless you get a DDR mombo, the KT133 chipset MBs don't have much chance of breaking 115Mhz FSB.

no doubt- I am running at a gig @100 fsb- 10.0 multiplier

Ram won't do much if you just up the multiplier. If you're gonna mess around with the FSB, I'd suggest trying at least PC133@CAS2 ram.

With the KT133 chipset the best I could do was a 110Mhz FSB that overclocked my PC133 to whoping 145Mhz!!!!!!

Me too, I can only reach 9x110 FSB with my duron 600 running @990. I can get 7131 in 3Dmark 2000 but the graphic is flashy.
I set it back to 10x100 FSB running @1G even though it is only 6968 in 3Dmard 2000.

From what I experienced and what others have said, the kt133 chipset can't overclock FSB worth jack. It might seem stable but after some hard cpu crunching it crashes. If I run my FSB from 101-107FSB, I can run stability test 6.0 for 6 hours fine but after that it crashes. I would check your settings carefully.
