667MHz Vs 800Mhz?

[Rambo]

Thank You for ALL UR HELP!!!
I decided to get Corsair XMS2 2x1GB at 667! and going to overclock it..sounds good?

Good good. Get the C4 stuff. That's the RAM I use, and it easily overclocks to 800 Mhz @ 2.0v with 4-4-4-12

Or you can overclock further and loosen the timings to 5-5-5-15.

does overclocking harm ur system in anyway?

Depends on how you do it.

Oh and just a note here, you are not running RAM at 667 or 800MHz, it is 333 and 400MHz.

Right now 1GB is the recommended minimum

ya, but the minimum on XP is 64mb... so that doesn't mean much

Overclocking won't harm your memory, unless you put a whole lot more voltage in them than is listed on the manufacturer specifications.

How do you overclock RAM? Do you just up the voltage?

You overclock the RAM by changing the RAM divider or the FSB/HT speed.
