Overclocking my RAM
Posted: Mon Jan 17, 2005 4:56 pm
Hey all
For the past year and a half or so, Ive had some DDR333 running at 2-2-2-5 in this machine. Its some kingston hyper-x stuff. Anyway, Ive always wondered if i could dare push the ram up to DDR 400 so I could operate the CPU on the same FSB (Ive heard that simply increasing the FSB of a CPU without changing the overall frequency can offer a bit of a performance gain). I'd have increased my cpu's FSB before, but I've also read that running the cpu and ram on different fsb's can lead to some problems. Well, suggestions anyone?
