Not too bad for an nVidia based rig. I have run several test on my nVidia chipsets and come to find for my type of OC and apps used that none of my nVidia solutions can outdo any of my Intel !975 or even P965 ASUS mobos with same CPU's. The same E6300 hitting FSB 532 stable on 2 Intels could not do it same on any nVidia I run.
Now I do seam to recall of a E6x50 on an Intel hitting over 600FSB but forget what ASUS mobo and chipset, I'll look through my notes to confirm it.
So right now, is anybody here overclockinf the E6550 or 6750 to over 500 FSB on Intel based solution?

What do you guys think of this memory?..
Seems like a decent deal! Cas5 but 1066MHz! Should work well!
Clock On,

I couldn't find any reviews on those exact model # ...everyone reviewed the Balistic's with the led's...
I am assuming they are the same...if so...they should have the micron 9 chips...and perform equally...

I will say that is very good memory. I have a couple of Crucial ballistix tracers and they work very well. They are 800 mhz chips and I have them running at 1050 mhz without any problems.

Abuzar: I know you are, but who knows about any new members that come along and see it.
As for the RAM, no high grade Corsair stuff is bad, you should be ok with that stuff.

The ones with the LEDs are the ones that I have. The have an extra word in their naming(Tracer) so I don't if they are exactly the same but they should be similar. You can get about 1 GB of the ones with LEDS for 50 bucks. and they SHOULD be PC-8000(they messed up mine, gave me PC-6400 instead, still need to get that resolved.)

abuzar1,
I am really suprised that memory will OC that much especially without loosening up the timings and raising the voltage quite a bit. you must have got some good ones.

Yup, the standard access times really.
the stock timings for ram haven't changed for a while
PC3200 400mhz CAS2
PC4200 533mhz CAS2.5
PC5300 667mhz CAS3
PC6400 800mhz CAS4
PC8000 1066mhz CAS5
Noticing a pattern? :P

you can get DDR2 800 cas 3 and DDR2 1000 cas 4 but they will cost you out the wazoo.

I'm guessing mine is running at Cas 4 and that that's pretty good for its speed?

Sorry Sam,
That's not what I meant!!
What your saying is the higher the frequency,the higher the latency.
What I meant was imagine pc8000 @ cas2.
That's where the Hollywood thing came in..LOL!!

how can i do this?

now how do i do that ^^ ^

Well that depends. Did you build this computer yourself? If it is a dell or compaq or something along those lines then you can't overclock.
Basically all you have to do is enter bios setup. you should see instructions on how to do that when you start up your pc. In my case it is the del key. after you get in you have to find options tp change the fsb. you should probably post what kinda mobo you have.

Did the compaq come with the mobo? You can't overclock compaqs because Compaq blocks the options from the BIOS. They are interested in computers running stable at their stock speeds and not crashing because people messed with overclocking. If you put in a different motherboard, well than chances are that you can overclock, although I don't think you will be getting very high as AMDs don't overclock all that well.

I was hoping you all could lend me some assistance. I'm looking to overclock my E6700 but the Asus barebone mobo (V-series P5945G) won't support doing so. So, I'm looking to find a good mobo for overclocking--any sugestions?
