Which memory to overclock prescott ???

Hi all thinking of getting a 3.6 or 3.4 prescott and wanted to overclock it to 4gig to 4.1gig but let me worrie about that need some memory help

what memory would i need to match this now lets say i just bought a 3.4 and i need to over clock it from 200fsb to 241fsb which would give the 3.4 a push to 4.1gig

would i need to bye ?????

1. Corsair 1GB DDR2 XMS2-5400 Pro 675mhz
2. Corsair 512MB DDR2 XMS2-4200 533mhz
3. Crucial Ballistix 5300 667MHz
4. Crucial Ballistix 4200 533MHz
5. Crucial Ballistix PC-4000
6. GeIL 512MB PC4300 533MHz Value DDR2

i just want memory to match the overclcok at 1:1 so i dont have to pay more for memory i really dont need

which is the better memory wna tgood memory to the most satble and good memory but which speed thanks

i might get a 3.6 which would need les overclocking but thats why i am asking about a 3.4 as this would need higher memoryt o overclock it but i want to run the memory at 1:1

sorry for asking but dont know how you work the memory out to the cpu

Any PC 4000 memory of your choice will work out. I have Corsair XLMS PRO DDR 500. My 3.2E gets to about 260 FSB

Yeah ddr500 is the best bet as you will be able to run it and the cpu in sync 1:1.

so i think i got it

memory that runs at

....................................................FSB
PC3200 = 400 so this would be 200mhz mem x2 = 400
PC3500 = 433 so this would be 216mhz mem x2 = 433
PC3700 = 466 so this would be 233mhz mem x2 = 466
PC4000 = 500 so this would be 250mhz mem x2 = 500
PC4200 = 533 so this would be 263mhz mem x2 = 533

so to run memory 1:1 if i overclocked a 3.4 chip to 4.1
the FSB would be 17x 200=3.4 to overclock would be 17x241=4.1

so that would meen i need pc4000 is this right

question 2 what is the best memort to get as there are things like CAS

question 3 is it better to have two ddr`s in the motherboard or 1 as 2 has double data rate would this make a diffrence from 1 or 2 ddrs

question4 strange that you only need pc3200 to run it at no overclock and you cna not get it thay start at pc4000 whic is well over the normal clock speed for a prescott strange

question 5 which one to go for for best memory Cru,Cros or geil

2. Lower CAS is better.
3. Generally the fewer modules the better 2 is pretty much standard. Also with two you might be able to run them in dual channel.

With two you pretty much will be able to run them in dual channel. Dual channel makes a huge difference on Intel platforms, so find yourself two matching DIMMs.

Go with 2 dual channel DDR sticks, and look for the best latencies with PC4000 or whatever would work for you.

am i right above how i worked out the bus spped for the memory.

right the cas lover the better well these are the memorys i can get

1. Corsair 1GB DDR2 XMS2-5400 Pro 675mhz = 4-4-4
2. Corsair 512MB DDR2 XMS2-4200 533mhz
3. Crucial Ballistix 5300 667MHz
4. Crucial Ballistix 4200 533MHz = 3-3-3-10
5. Crucial Ballistix PC-4000 = 2.5-4-4-8
6. GeIL 512MB PC4300 533MHz Value DDR2 = CAS 4-4-4-12

so out of these it seems that the Crucial Ballistix PC-4000 is the best cas am i right still going for the 4200 as it should be the sam cas
