thanks flat finger,
will try now~~~
and how i know how low the latency than my ram can go?
and wat will happen if the ram lantency too low?
the com cant boot? the ram burned?
do i need to change the ram voltage to increase the stability?
but OC the frequency of the ram, mem voltage must be increased?
thanks for answering,
newbies here...
yet lots to learn...
as mfcm already said...i just add up
how u know...for basic info..pls used cpu-z...n surf around the net...xtremesystem is a gud place to seek...try n error is a must...
if ram latency to low...result will be not stable..BSOD..or can't boot (plus the long beep sound)...just set it back to the previous stable setting that u found...
the ram will only burn if u feed it with major overvoltage (more voltage more hot)..pls consider active cooling if u wanna overvolt it such as blowing fan to it...

I got a noob question here (don't get me wrong, I've read all the pages of this thread)
I just got an E6600 and I'm gonna buy a high speed RAM to overclock this baby. There are only 3 types of high performance RAMs which i found in lowyat that runs 800mhz, that is: Corsair Twin2x CL4, Kingston HyperX CL4 and Mushkin 800 HP2 CL4. From reading you guy's post i know that a Micron D9 chip is highly recommended. so now my question is:
1. By just looking at the RAM that still sealed inside the box, how do you know that whether it is a Micron D9 chip?
2. Do you guys recommend me to buy the Corsair Twin2X C4 4-4-4-12 2x1GB RAM? Which costs me about RM1150? or Mushkin better?

should i just top-up RM100 to get a Micron chip? fyi EM2 is using Aeneon and HP2 is using micron D9GMH.
e6600 don't need ram that can OC over 450Mhz..because using 1:1 (533 divider) setting like below:
9x400fsb
8x450fsb
already take u at 3.6Ghz...so any ram that can run between 400Mhz-450Mhz should be ok to used...no need high performance....if ur target oc is 3.2Ghz...ur ram will only at 356Mhz (PC5400 DDR667 can do it n its more cheap than PC6400 DDR800)....unless u r using e6300 than ur ram have to be the one that can hit 500Mhz above...like the d9 chip...n as u know to hit the number...u have to feed it with voltage...
there is mushkin that can run at CL4...cycom selling it...i think its cheaper than the Corsair...
n as for ur info mushkin EM2 CL5 can run 4-4-3-10 at 400Mhz-425Mhz stable @1.95v only (don't underestimate the Aeneon)...y i know it??coz im already used one...
**futhermore ram price is dropping now....just select suitable for ur setting n value for ur money..
