Okay, I have THIS RAM in my comp and I'm trying to over clock it to DDR2 800 speeds, but I'm not sure if I have this right. I have an Asus p5n-e Sli Mobo and the P4 3.4 CPU that you see in the link. I'm not trying to over clock the CPU (ram and cpu are unlinked in my bios) because I'm eventually going to put in a quad core or dual core CPU this summer and sell my old P4, so I'm not going to risk over clocking it. I'm going to keep the 2 gigs of G.Skill so I was hoping you guys could help me out with the timings. I'm not too sure about what the command rate does, or how it affects the RAM. You can see that the RAM is being over clocked (what I've done is in the link) and it's not even getting that warm. Any ideas or suggestions on how I can get some more performance out of these modules? I'd really appreciate it, thanks! Oh, btw, this is my first time trying to over clock, so I've tried to do my homework, but I still need help.
 
Up the RAM voltage to 2.2V or more, I doubt you'll be able to get more than what you've already got though. 800 from 533 is already a great overclock.
 
My voltage is at 2.18 and the modules don't get that warm, which is really what surprised me. One thing that has been bugging me since I started over clocking my RAM, is that I get, it seems, a constant stream of "choke" when I play Counter-Strike: Source and I was also wondering if me messing with the RAM had anything to do with that? Anyways, thanks so much for the quick reply!

I've heard great things about these G.Skill modules and was wondering if anyone could still suggest anything to get more performance out of them and how command rate affects performance? Thanks so much, these forums really are the best for comp luvors :D
 
I ran Mem test the other night and I got a #7 error on the 12th pass. The results stated something like, failing address 0008070080 - 128.0MB, Good 8e0b475d, Bad 8e0b475c, error - bits 00000001, count channel 1. Because it took so long for the error to come up I'm guessing that my modules are just overheating and the voltage might be a tad bit high. Btw, the choke is cs:s I believe is network and ram related, but when you have 2 gigs of ram it should only be network related; I just played a little cs:s and I didn't have any high choke, so what I was complaining about before was network related, I'm guessing.

Does anyone have any comments on my memtest86 error?
