hav a problem here
i have 2x512mb GEIL 2.5-6-3-3 PC3200 n 2x512mb Corsair 2.5-8-3-3 PC3200, i put all into 4 slot which run on dual channel, sadly it only run at 333Mhz, i try changing it to 2.5-7-3-3 1T timing but the speed still at 333Mhz.
the question is can i put it to 2.5-6-3-3 for all the ram , i scare of burning my Corsair ram since it was at 2.5-8-3-3 n i just bought it.
n will changing this will make it reach 400Mhz??

I would believe its all in the OverClocking Performance RAMs can have tighter timings thus making clock cycles faster and improve performance? Something like that la... just like you, I am still learning abt RAM overclocking too

If you have a 1 x 512MB 533Mhz DDR2 RAM -your effective FSB is 533Mhz.
If you use 2 x 256MB 533 DDR2 RAM with dual channel, your effective FSB is 1066Mhz.
The total memory is the same for both cases, but just the difference with the FSB.
With dual channel, this allows you to achieve 1:1 ratio with your processor (assuming it's your CPU is Core2 Duo -1066Mhz)
