I see 4200 and higher ram out there, yet I do not see motherboards that support it. Does that mean you have to overclock it? How is this done?

Thanks. :)
 
Yes, as of now, anything above DDR PC3200 is meant for overclockers. For example, ram rated at PC4000 will guarantee stable speeds of 250MHz.

Next time, post your question in the memory section. ;)
 
Doh! I didn't see that section, sorry.

Is it worth (gaming wise) to overclock ram? I mean is there enough gain for the risk/cost?


Can you reccomend a good guide for a newbie? :)
 
Yes, Ram at speeds over 3200 are ment for overclocking.
Overclocking is rather fun, and a great way to get more performace out of your PC parts for free.

Many chips can OC well beyond the next chip up from them, for a fraction of the cost.

Ex. and X2 3800+ can rach 4200+ and beyond with ease. So you end up saving money there.
Some chips like the opty 144 go very far like up to 2.8-3.0 on air. which is like freakin awesome.
