800Mhz RAM - Significantly better than 667Mhz RAM?

[Robertw18]

Yeah, then you'll probably be better off going with the faster RAM

Just up your FSB or increase the memory multiplier from 2.5. You'll more than likely have to give it voltage and/or loosen the timings to get it to run at 800 from 667.

Thanks a lot guys!

Now the final question that has been bugging me:

Is it worth getting 667mhz ram to 800mhz?

It can be, with a Core 2 there is still an advantage to using faster than 1:1 memory ratios. I don't remember the exact numbers but I think it was a noticable amount.

You can easily just overclock the RAM youself.

I got my Patriot DDR2-667 RAM with 5-5-5-15 timings, up to DDR2-900 with timings of 5-4-4-9.

So is there a setting to change from 677 to 800 or do you have to fiddle with FSB and multipliers?

 

[Cromewell]

The multipliers is the setting to change.
