Hey, can someone lay out the steps of overclocking my RAM (in my sig) in an easy to read step list?? no middle ****, no mumbo jumbo, just the straight up facts of how to.
Also, does overclocking my RAM mean I have to sacrifice some CPU speeds?? or lower Certain Bus Speeds?? and if it does, will having to lower certain Bus speeds affect other areas of performance?? or will the overclocked RAM make up for it?? My ram modules have been know to be OC'ed up to 1000mhz I have read, but I just want 900mhz for now.
Thank you..
EDIT: also, wich would be better, lowering my timings to overall CAS 4 and leaving 800mhz, or leaving my timings at Cas 5 and bringing up the clock? CPU magazine sais the sweet spot right now with AM2 motherboards is CAS of 4 and 800mhz for the best performance/stability balance.
