just a quick question.

Which DDR2 speed rating for E4300 (stock)

cheers

ok, tell me if i'm wrong

E4300 = 9 x 200mhz = 1800mhz (DDR2 400/PC3200 RAM needed)

if overclock to 3.4ghz.

9 x 377mhz = 3400mhz (DDR2 754/PC6032 RAM needed)

so right ram would be any DDR2 800/PC6400???

Get 6400 rated ram (unless you shoot for something upmarket like Crucial anniversary/ballistix or teamXtreem)
3.6ghz = 400 FSB which is rated speed for 6400 ram

thank you very much

would this RAM be ok? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-010-OK

also, which motherboard will allows me increase the FSB to 400mhz?

That ram will do the trick, the timings should tighten to 4-4-4-12 too. Board wise I'd pick up this.. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-063-GI unless you need crossfire/sli

Hello. Will a E4300 be severly handicapped by 2x1gb DDR2 dual channel 4-4-4-12 (can get 3-3-3-9) Samsung 4300 (533mhz) ram?

Will it limit me.

Will be wanting to overclock it a fair bit (around 3ghz). Have a zalman 9700 to cool it.

The motherboard has a **** bios. I cannot change voltages but only set it to high or normal voltage. I can only increase the frequency of it as well as few other things.

cheers

If the mobo is like that, you may find IT holds you back more than the components, case in point is my Asrock 775DUAL-Vsta..... tis an ok board, but my RAM is runing sub stock as it's undervolted, and my E6400 is being held back by the FSB.

If you can get 3-3-3-9 @ 533Mhz, then you MAY get close to 800Mhz with looser timings..... hard to tell until you try, some RAM doesnt like higher freqs no matter the timings, and without knowing what chips the ram uses its hard to predict based on other ram performance.

Then again, 3Ghz is only 333 FSB, which gives 667Mhz ram @ 1:1...... should be possible....... if you are lucky.
