Its Cruical ram, Part Number: CT2KIT12864Z40B

Looking on their site i cant find any suggested/rated ram timings.

It says CAS3 so most likely the timings are 3-3-3-8 @ 200Mhz so overclocking options might be limited.
 
Thats what im thinking now too. I might put in a divider to run at a lower FSB with better timings as this actually seemed to perform a lot better (lost about 2000 points in 3dmark06 after i set the memory to run at the same speed as the CPU FSB).

Thanks very much for your help guys. I understand how the memory timings work a LOT better now :)
 
Just wanted to say thanks again, with your help i now actually understand how it all works and have got my memory running at 179Mhz again but on T1 with 2.5,3,3,7 timing. if i manage to push the FSB up on my CPU (which with air cooling is a bit dodgy) it might be worth using 1:1 but the increased frequency of the memory doesnt make up for the performance lose with the crappy timing at the moment.

Looks like i need to get some better ram (and another visa card :)).

try tightening the timings up now as the memory is underclocked
