Hi folks!

I've been out of the loop for a while for the most part..playing catch up now:)

I just picked up a E6600, malay, B2 stepping, ASUS P5B, OCZ 600 watt powerstream.

Im waiting on my RAM to show up and yet I want to play a bit..but I'm stuck with my Geil 533 Mhz DDR2 2x1Gb(4-4-4-12) for now.

From what I recall Im already maxed at 1:1 @ stock. Am I able to go async, relax the timings and up the Vdimm...or am I just screwed for the time being?

They test out the impact of using memory ratios and more relaxed timings on Conroe systmems.

In general, with enough increase in your memory speed you can overcome the impact of the relaxed timings.
