firstly spec
mb: gigabyte p965 ds3
cpu: e4300
mem: ballistsix pc5300 2gb
the rest isn't really relevant for now... it's all well cooled tho.
now, I can get this memory up to 500MHz, as I'm running it with 2.2v, with heatsinks and a low rpm fan over the ram. 501mhz, and it won't POST - god knows why... but 500 is fine considering it is rated at 333.
The highest multi from my c2d is 9x, so right now I'm running 333x9 = 3ghz
I can't really get the FSB higher without it starting to stop POSTing I think the limit is my CPU. Anyway, what I want to know is which is faster - running the mem 1:1 with the FSB, so they are both at 333mhz, or running the mem at 500mhz, with slightly looser timings, out of sync...
