Hi, Folks!

Well, i have 2 Dimms DDR Generic Rated at 333 (2.0-3-3-6) at 2.7 volts.

One Dimm is 512 (333) and the other one is 256 (400); Spectek and Wintec.

At this moment my system is running in Dual Channel Bus (333) so the Dimm Rated at "400" is downrated! My Overclocking capabilities depend in how far my other dimm can handle.. So What support can u guys give me.

Thanks.

If its Generic, then the only real way to find out is to try it and see. I know a friend of mine hit about 172FSB using generic RAM, but yours could possiby hit 190, or maybe only 166.

At high speeds, for sure that i'll need more voltage, so there is any kind of guide or just testing and more testing ?

Trial and error, really. If you increase vmem then remember to make sure you have good enough memory cooling.
