NOW...don't get greedy!

haha I know, things are gonna start becoming unstable now that I said that

i certainly hope not!...that's an awesome system that you have there...hate to see problems pop-up for being a little greedy...hehehe

good memory article that says, we are wasting our money if we buy memory any faster than DDR-800...AND...DDR3 memory is a joke at the moment!

Today we look at why DDR3 memory has provided us with no noticeable performance gains over existing DDR2 memory. The reasoning is quite simple really and it has to do with the Core 2 Duo processors lack of need for memory faster than 800MHz. The article investigates this in a little more detail and looks to the future, when DDR3 will become an important memory standard.


Over the past few months we have published quite a few DDR2 memory related articles that looked at how timings, frequency and capacity influence the performance of Intel’s Core 2 Duo processors. The results did not really surprise us, though many of the readers did seem shocked by our findings. First of all memory timings (latency) make very little difference, as CAS 3-3-3-8 T1 delivered just 5% more memory bandwidth at 800MHz when compared to CAS6-6-6-18 T2 timings. In almost all games this made near no difference, particularly at higher resolutions such as 1920x1200. So memory timings are somewhat irrelevant for Core 2 Duo systems then.

Could somebody please give me some referrence points to get me going on overclocking this board with my Q6600 G0? The board will be here in a day and I am not at all familliar with the Abit Bios and motherboards!
Couple of pointers on whats good at stock setting up till what point and what not to over due on some of the settings, possibly a explanation of some of the settings too right now I am on a EVGA 680i and the Abit Bios are completely foreign to me!

Best regards .....BE

Read the thread. Everyone has posted some sort of successful voltage at some point, as well as explained most of the significant features.
