how to get the best out of my RAM?

[blakey_boy9]

i just recently bought 1 gig of kingston PC3200, and i realise my CPU can only run at a core clock of 166 mhz. Any sugesstions on how to get the best out of my RAM?
my current settings in bios for my CPU are 166/12.5x.
Would it be possible to change these to 200/10 so that my RAM will run at the 200mhz?would it damage my RAM?

i was able to change my settings in bios to 200/10X @2.0 ghz, and my computer ran fine, i felt the ram and they felt warm, would this setting damage my ram?

Ram is suppose to get warm, i would only worry about it if it gets hot.

that has nothing to do with the post. also, i would suggest going into bios and setting a memory divider instead of changing the multiplier to get the better ram speeds.

Disregard that post, as that has nothing to do with the stability of your RAM.

Try running your Athlon XP 2800+ at 200x11, which is what I do for my 2800+.

It's not going to hurt the RAM, as the RAM was meant to run at those speeds.

yea, ram at default speeds is stable... if it gives you errors thats warranty's problems.
