OK so ive been looking for ocable memory and decided on corsair brand, and xms line up. My mobo is the p4c800 e deluxe, i have a pentium 2.4 Ghz (northwood) capable of going up to 3.9 Ghz (i doubt ill achieve that). Im looking to overclock the cpu to about 3.2-3.4 ghz, and was wondering which memory would be better. My mobo supports ddr 400 pc 3200

i know one of them exceeds my mobo's maximum but ive heard that it doesnt matter and you can put a higher speed and it will oc better.


so let me know what you think, ill be looking to put in 4 of these in my computer to add up to a measily 4 GB of ram, which is not enough for the work i do and its a pain not being able to upgrade to 6 or 8 gigs.
 
i have a set of two 512 sticks in dual channel mode, but i really need more gigahertz. 2 gigs would not be enough, so im forced to go with one gigabtye sticks, and any ways, if i had two or four giga byte sticks (which is what im planning) then they will by in dual channel too, and faster than the sticks i have now.
 
This RAM has quite a punch if you want speed and capacity. Get a pair of these babies for 4GB total:

keep in mind that they have to be matched pairs to go in dual channel mode
now does that mean i have to buy one of those packages that contain a pair, or can i buy two of the same memorie sticks and call it the same?
 
okay, if you want 1GB sticks, go with Ballistix, Ballistix make the best, lemme repeat that, THE BEST 1GB sticks. They give you the most OCing headroom, now i wonder why they dont sell their memory chips to anyother company :rolleyes:
 
i have heard the same about ocz and corsair, but i guess any performance memory from the top companies is good for ocing.
