I have Geil Value 1 x 2gb memory but dont have an X2 3800 yet. I would be interested to know the results of this. I dont want to overclock but want to make sure my Geil value memory is good to have in a X2 3800 system or will it bottleneck it ?

2 1 gig sticks is best. Will allow 1t settings.
Will also need the memory to run on a divider for any serious overclocks. Set memory to 133 or 166 in bios. The overclock will raise it nearer 200. Mine runs at 195.

It's value RAM, so not the best for overclocking but considerably better than other brands of value RAM.

Set the memory at 133 or 166 in the bios and then when you overclock it will bring it back towards 200.
My memory is set at 133 and my overclock brings it to 195. Generic carp so it doesnt overclock at 200.
