I recently bought some RAM from newegg.com. I ordered 1 gb in two 512 mb sticks of g.skill DDR2 800. Unfortunately, I forgot to check the CAS latency on them. My intel motherboard only supports 5-5-5-5 or 6-6-6-6. I have 5-5-5-15.
So I'm about to RMA my RAM, but then I get this great idea. Maybe I can overclock it to the values it has to be. I'm no overclocker, so I'm not sure if this would work at all.
The intel chipset doesn't support the latency, so will I be able to use BIOS to overclock the RAM?
Is taking 5-5-5-15 latency down to 5-5-5-5 too much?
If anyone could offer help... I *really* don't want to pay for shipping and restocking and I have a LAN party this coming Thursday.
