I have 2x pc3200 crucial ddr 256mb sticks running at dual rate on my p4p800 mobo and are these sticks OCable? They have no heatspreaders on them and i was wondering if it was possible to give them better timings? The default is set to 2.5 (cas), 4 (ras# precharge), 4 (ras# to cas# delay), 8 (precharge delay), 8 (burst length)
aka 2.5-4-4-8-8
Is it possible to give them the most aggresive timings possible and still be able to run my system stable?
and when the hell did RAM get more complicated than microwaving popcorn????
man, i need to update my pc...

AFAIK, Crucial blows at OCing. Go into your BIOS settings and try, see if it runs stable. I'll post your question on abother comp geek messageboard I frequent to make sure I'm right...

OCZ RAM sucks, no offense. But if you're not OCing, then I guess it doesn't matter that much.
I'm building mine the next few days. I'll post pics when I'm done.

I won't overclock, i want the most stable machine And before you buy any i875P board, check if the ram you'll buy is compatible with

If you don't care about the budget, at least get the 9500 pro. The 9600 pro was made to be cheaper, not faster.
9500 pro > 9600 pro
On the other hand you could get the 9500 non pro, and OC it to 9700 PRO speeds !!!! proof

Was thinking 2-2-2-6-8
It's definitely possible. It will either work or it won't.... Overclocking is just like that
