I'm looking for suggestions for memory for a BadAxe2. I will be installing Vista Ultimate 32 bit, and will have an E6600, and an nVidia 8800GTS video card.
I will be looking to do some moderate OC'ing, FSB -> 400 to get 3.2 to 3.6GHz with the E6600.
My CPU is E660 (BX80557E6600SL9S8 - MM# 884980, L636-A993, version D63625-002)
I'm building a Photoshop photo editing machine. I will play some games and would like to do some moderate overclocking.
Which memory would be better:
Crucial Ballistix 2 GB DDR2-800, Timing 4-4-4-12, 2.2 V
Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2 GB DDR2-1000, Timing 5-5-5-15, 2.2V
OCZ Platinium Rev2 DDR2-800 Timing 4-4-4-15, 1.9V - 2.1V
Patriot 2GB DDR2-800 Timing 4-4-4-12, 2.2 V
Mushkin 2GB DDR2-800 Timing 4-5-4-11, 2.1 - 2.2 V
I intend to install 4 GB of memory.
As you can probably tell, I'm a newbie. I've built systems before but I have never tried overclocking. Can someone point me to a good overclocking guide and some examples of what settings others have used to achieve good results with this CPU, motherboard and memory
Thanks in advance.
