Does more RAM effecting Overclocking?

I've been told my many people that more ram effective overclocking ability, but I've also seen some huge overclocks on systems with 1-2gig of ram, and, personally, I've not noticed any deteriment on o/c ability when I've upgraded my ram. So, in practice, does adding more ram REALLY effect o/c ability? Examples would be great.
 
I honestly think that RAM manufactured these days
are of higher quality than those of...
say 12 months to 2 yrs ago. By far.

SDRAM, I would say, if not HIGH quality,
is harder to O/C.

Most systems now use DDR, and the stuff
we, as overclockers, buy, is 10 times better
than what we purchased a year, or longer, ago.

So, what we have now, is better RAM to overclock.

Hope this makes sence. Just my .02

the memory controller works like a traffic light. the more sticks you have the more work the controller does. this can have an adverse effect when oc'ing memory. of cousre there are a myriad of other considerations such a capacitence,inductance,chip ensity, cas latency,andvoltage.
