Now for my Question/s.

I need to know if this mobo is going to take PC3700 or maybe higher.

Also the highest voltage i can put the ram to is 2.8v so is this going to be enough for overclocking new ram?

And is there a way i can get more V's into the ram :D:D

Please help me on this :D im getting really stuck :)


PS:: I hope this isnt a normal question because ill look a lil silly :p
 
It's the prototypical normal question.

Yes you can use PC3700 ram.

Whether or not 2.8V is enough for overlcocking depends entirely on what ram you have and how fast your are trying to run it.

The Vdimm limit of your board can likely be increased, but it will require modification of the board. Vmods for most popular boards can be found at the extrememsystems.com forum, but it is highly unlikekly your board is common enough for a mod for it to exist.
 
Great :D So the next question is what ram is for me ie no volt mod so i have 2.8v and i want to get the most out of my p4 2.4!!!

Maybe faster ram so i dont have to overclock as much coz of my lowish 2.8v or slower ram but with more over clock coz the default v for the slower ram might be 2.5 or 2.6?????
