you have this stuff? well if you do, it should overclock nicely. i read a review on Ultra RAM which gave it really good scores. the question is, what board are you running it on/how big is your PSU/is your CPU going to be able to keep up (if its an older CPU) from your other thread i think u said u had a 2400+ desktop chip (which should do fine) and a Soyo board (not sure if the BIOS has many options to overclock RAM) does it support dual channel? what are your voltage options in BIOS for RAM? i think it depends more on your mobo than anything...the RAM will overclock..but will your other hardware keep up? also you want a reliable powersupply, probably minimum 300watts/stable rails. If your PSU cant handle the overclocking then that could cause trouble.

PowerSupply is 450 Watts, no i do not have Dual Channel keep in mind i have a KT400 Ultra Platinum MOBO, not just the Black Dragon.

well what BIOS options do you have for RAM? that's where you need to look. if you have the ability to change ratio/clockspeed/fsb/RAM voltage...you should be set. i would up it by 5mhz increments and keep your timings at default till it wont boot. then go back and give it a lil more voltage when it wont boot. once you get to the max mhz/fsb you can try loosening your timings and seeing if that helps. runs a few benches to make sure its stable and watch ur temps. no one can flat out TELL you "your ramm will top at 240mhz, 2-2-2-5 @ 2.9V" ...you have to experiment.
