Isolate RAM

[Feileung]

Which BIOS settings should I tune down if I want to isolate my RAM for OC testing? I want to test how high of a FSB my RAM is stable at while stressing other systems as little as possible. I'd also like to do the same w/the processor and motherboard if possible.

Anyone have any tips?

okay well the general idea is this:

RAM-
Lower the CPU multi to 6x
Lower the Ht link (if AMD) to 4x
Manually set RAM speed to stock (DDR400 or DDR667)
Increase FSB by 5-10
Reboot
Run memtest from a bootable CD, USB drive, floppy or something
*** do not boot into windows while testing your RAM***

Make sure your RAM passes memtest before you boot into windows...
