alright i have a kingston 256 stick of 333MHz ram but i am toyin around with overclocking it

right now i am at 150MHz system clock on my 18X mulitplier which sticks me right about 2700MHz, and in my bios i set the ram to 3:4 ratio... i guess that boosts the clock on it and my sisoft sandra scores went up and even dominate RDRam by 5 miles....

heres my score

ram int buffered isse2 bandwidth - 2708 MB/s

ram float buffered isse2 bandwidth - 2720MB/s

basically what can i do to get my ram the fastest
my mobo is a asus p4s533

thanks for the help

150MHz-3:4
150 divided by 3=50
50 times 4=200

So 200mhz or 400ddr.

Nice 225mhz or 450ddr.
Thats great for Kingston 333.
Is it stable? Try 3dmark if you have it.

okay okay i took forever but heres my 3d mark scores... the cpu would not stay stable running the 3dmark at 4-6 ratio on my memory (****) but i will work it out somehow... anyways i ran this at 2.7GHz and 4:5 ratio on my ram (375MHz DDR)
