CPU o/c Memory u/c

[Holbeck]

I have overclocked my AMD 64 939 3000+ Winchester to 2005mhz and everything has been running fine. However, after upgrading my memory from 512mhz to 1Ghz dual channel SiSandra says my memory is underclocked and I haven't seen any significant speed increase. I used Fuzzy Overclock software which came with the mobo but maybe I should use the Bios instead. Apart from this is there any way to configure the memory regarding voltage and/or timings?
As I would like to play some of the recent games should I save up for memory from the bigger players such a OCZ, Corsair or Geil?
Any help would be appreciated.

IMHO you should always use the bios when overclocking ram and cpu and the overclocking programs are usually crap.

Yes you can alter the memory times and voltages in the bios.

You dont have to buy one of the big players but they do tend to be better for overclocking, but any 2GB of ram will give you a performance increase in some games and it seems to be standard these days to have 2GB.

Take a look at GSKILL, OCZ and CORSAIR as the 2GB kits are at greats prices here at OCUK.
