AMD 1.4 MHZ, ASUS A7M266 Motherboard,

Mushkin 256MB PC2400 High Performance DDR SDRAM
CAS2 at 300MHz (150FSB)! NEW! Now with RAM Sink!

Is 150mhz FSB possible with a Glaciator Copper Heatsink/F

1.7-1.8 but it all depends how lucky you get.

What I've found is that most ram will do higher speeds than thier specification states (I've had 133 mHz doing 148 mHz).

Getting your Graphics card, nic, soundcard etc. doing higher speeds is a different kettle of fish all together.

The memory by its specification should be able to run at 150 mhz however this does not mean that your system will be able to run stable or even obtain a 150 mhz FSB as your other hardware such as cards or your tempratures all effect this situation. All you can do is try but remember to watch your tempratures

Should I not overclock this sucker then? I don't want to ruin my other components.. I just have a SBLive Value, USR Modem, and yoiu run of the mill generic 32MEG Geforce 2 Card.

Is the only temp I need to watch the ambient case temp? What should that be?
