2x1GB kit needed for opty 146

[gazozborne]

just wondering if its worth getting the Geil 2GB kit or if there are anymore reccomendations? i have 3x512mb geil value at the mo & currently at 2.51GHZ @ stock (mem set to DDR333, ASRock dualsata AGP/PCIE mobo).

Would the 2gb enable me to get a better OC & will it be noticeably faster compared to what i have now?

if not are there anymore memory suggestions for around £120?

Thanks

Funnily enough i was just looking at the G.Skill stuff after reading your stickied topic, would the PC4000 HZ be worth the extra £6 over the ZX at all?

Doesn't the asrock default to 2T no matter how many sticks?

Hrm not sure about that myself? I've just noticed in the ASRock DualSata 939 topic though that someone has hit 3GHZ with their G.Skill ZX kit and even managed 1T by changing the burst to 8, looks like he has the same Chip aswell (going by CPU-Z) so very muchly bordering on those now.

Also i just read on the ASRock site that this board only supports up to PC3200 DDR400, the HZ is PC4000 DDR500 - would this have any consequences at all am i still best just for the HZ?

Ahhh gotcha, HZ memory it is then!

Also, is there a guide for timings? Im a complete newbie to memory clocking (only have 2.5ghz on current setup as somebody else had same RAM/CPU as myself & i used same timings as he did ).

Only wanting around 2.5/2.6 so are any ideas on what i'd need for this ?

Thanks!

aye twas you

also to add i changed my order back down to the Geil 2GB kit instead, noticed somebody has got 2.7 with theirs (whereas i have 2.5 with 3 sticks anyway) & also realised that im not really that much of an overclocker to warrant spending £160 on ram. oh and im a bit skint too
