Seems like the overclock isn't stable then Audi, it calls for water cooling (Assuming your going it soon). Anyways yea XMS PC3000 is juicy..

It's Bo**ox that the heat spreader don't touch the ram chips - it does!
It looks like it doesn't but upon closer inspection the spreader has a 'step' in it. My Ram chips are completely covered by the spreader (which btw does not require the clip on it) it's just that there an overhanging stepped out bit which doesn't touch - but all the the memoty chips are fulled connected on the unstepped out bit of the spreader.
That's a really crap explanation - sorry peeps - trust me the spreader does fully connect with all the ram chips!

i dont know how much more the heat spreader RAM is than the non spreader one, but keep an eye on the classifieds. SSS does these little dealies for 3$ 3M ramsinks. my ram gets a wee bit warm at 3.2v (digidoc5) but not very much.
Ill do a difinite temp test before and after i put ramsinks on, when i get my Samsung 2700

Sandra scores are only one measurement of the memory subsystem's performance. I also use Seti@home since it is a very memory-intensive application, and also effective at stress-testing the memory.
I could run my old PC2100 at 175 with timings maxed out, or at 203.5 with SPD timings. My Sandra memory scores were much higher at 203 than at 175, but my SETI times (with the TLC benchmark unit) went from 2:45 to over 3 hours.
With my Corsair 3200 I can run at 203.5 with all max timings except CAS2.5, but I have yet to run a SETI benchmark. I'm anticipating a slight improvement, since the latency is only slightly increased now.

With ur overclock ........ what are ur 3dmark 2001 SE scores like ?
PS: I agree with what U said , timings make a big difference in many 'Real World " apps. Tomshardware's initial KT 333 review showed it barely beating KT 266A boards with aggressively timed PC 2100 . His tests included both real world and synthetic benchmarks .
