ram / fsb

[ThePunkGeek]

would adding a ram cooling kit possibly help me up my fsb if it was the ram holding me back?

Possibly..

If you are being held back by your memory then some heatsinks might help you to push a little further, although I wouldnt expect any huge gains.
You may also be able to get stable at a higher VDIMM, this might get you a bigger increase with just more cooling alone.

If your running a XP then you will have to unlock the multiplyer well before Crucial-2100 reaches its limit, unless you manage a monster CPU overclock of course.

[eh?]

what CAS is your memory running at?

they will only help if u have good case airflow, and if the memory is warm~hot to the touch..
if its cool, then its a waste of 8+ dollars...

my memory is pretty ****y. i have tried to find info about it but no luck. sisoft wont tell me anything and i tried anything program that ids ram.

trying looking in the bios, if its cas 2 then change it to cas 3 that may be the max fsb the memory will run at in CAS 2. also better cooling on your northbridge would help achive an extra mhz....
