I am new to the world of OC and was planning to put together a "stable" P4 2.4C system moderately overclocked to 3 - 3.2G. I will be using the Asus P4P800 mobo and now am trying to decide the right 1GB of memory for the system.
OC'ing the 2.4C to 3.2G with a 3:2 memory ratio, I only need a good PC3200. The Corsair XMS3200 comes highly recomended with a CAS of 2 (about $250.)
OC'ing the 2.4C to 3.2G with a 5:4 memory ratio, I need a PC3700. Buffalo PC3700 with winbond is a good candidate with a CAS of 3 (about $200.)
My questions is which is the right way to go to get the maximum overall performance. If there is any setup other than the above two I should also consider, please do tell me. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
