ok i got some corsair value select 512mb pc3200 ram. it is overclocked all the way up to 215mhz on stock voltage and runs stable. however, i ran memtest for 9 hours and picked up 22 errors. tonight, i plan on running it again at stock FSB and seeing if i get any. do you guys think i'll get any errors? is it common to get more errors if you've oc'd too high? also, if say i get 10 errors with stock FSB, is that enough to justify RMA'ing it? thanks.
 
i dont think youre ganna get any error's. Just increase the ram voltage to like 2.8v-2.9v if you have those options. It should get 0 error's.
 
Overclocking does increase the errors if it's not a stable OC... but if it's stable there shouldn't be many more errors than when not OCed.
