I have 512 megs of crucial technology PC2100 RAM. My bus speed has been clocked up to 300Mhz. Has anyone else got this kind of speed on their RAM, or have I taken it too far? Stability seems ok, but I'm not up for cooking my RAM or anything,


cheers!

I never try, or can't anyway and are your sure that's your Mem speed, cuz the ram setting might be at "by speed" instead of "host clock"?

IT'S DDR so 300 = 150 really. it is the actual RAM speed, not the H/W

I've had mine upto 153 and a friend has his at 160. I believe Chawken has his at 170+.

As long as you watch how much voltage you put though it you should be ok.

My ram is running at 332mhz, (166fsb) with no problem. I have a larger heatsink on my northbridge, and my ram voltage is +.2v
