how do u get 2 bottlenecking ur cpu?

on a quad core, how would you bottleneck if your ram wasn't running fast enough.... Would you be ok running a 1:1 ratio?

well im gnna be getting DDR2 800 for a Q6600 g0, and need to know if I would need faster RAM or not. Will run the cpu at about 3.0-4ghz.. will my RAM sufficiently fuel the Cpu?

Also should I stick with the Crucial ballistix 2 x 1gb DDR2 800 Ram or go with something else??? I am going to be doing Gaming

Assuming you are using a 9x multi,

4GHZ=9x444

Therefore you will need RAM that can do at least DDR2-888.

Assuming an 8x multi,

4GHz=8x500

therefore you will need RAM that can do at least DDR2-1000

Obviously the faster RAM you use the better. In terms of bottlenecking - I wouldn't worry about it. As long as your RAM can do the speeds I listed you should be fine.

Yeah I would be doing 9 x 444 which DDR2 800 ram could easily handle. Thanks!

Pleasure!

make sure the motherboard is up to the task, as well as the PSU and cooling.
