Given time all things come to pass.:D

723504 2008-12-14 22:35:00 Ive compiled a list of RAM

2x2gb CL4 800mhz

www.c1com.co.nz
www.c1com.co.nz
I thought the first one, Crossiar one was the best, good brand, good price

2x2gb CL5 1060MHz

Thought the first one as the best G skill, good brand Good price

Overall the CL4 one is the best as Memphis said "Personaly I go for the highest MHz with the best latency that I can afford"??????????

=Fastest MHz speed of ram my motherboard can take for example 1066 MHz with the best latency for example CL5 5-5-5-15 that I can afford at the time.:thumbs:

LOL, listen James, you are getting too far ahead of yourself with RAM\CPU etc.
If this is your 1st build, I would hesitate telling you how to overclock & viod your warranty on your 2K equipment. I haven't seen any effort on your part to understand requirement of overclocking. Have you bothered to read anything yet?. I presume not, otherwise you wouldn't be posting links every time somebody said something different. I have already stated what RAM is required. As fast as you expect to run your FSB. FYI 1066 RAM is in fact 800 but just clocked higher due to better quality.

It is no good us spouting this and that unless you know too!

If it was me and the Q66 are no longer in stock, I would go for the Q6700, same bus but 10 multiplier...

I dont plan on overclocking until a very later stage.

I just got some emails back and the Q6600 seems to be discounted, presuming the Q6700 which is all so out of stock.

Well, that ain't no fun. :(

Well then, go for a good brand 800MHz RAM. Any CL would do, as with an Intel system any difference in CL is negligible in real-life uses.

Good because if you posted here telling us that you just overclocked something and that it did not work anymore well......I would just laugh and say what a waste!!!:lol::D;)

Find out for sure about the Q6600 Go and Q6700 being out of stock at every place presume nothing!!!:thumbs:

Have a look on Trademe etc.,as a last resort for a Q6600 GO and a Q6700.:thumbs:

723511 2008-12-14 23:26:00 k so either www.c1com.co.nz or www.c1com.co.nz might as well get the cheapest one. So 800 RAM can be overclocked to 1066 RAM, but original 1066 RAM can be overclocked further or not?

Q6600 has a FSB of 1066?

There is absolutely no way one should expect any 800MHz module can do 1066 out of the box. There are 800MHz RAMs that are excellent overclockers and can do even higher than 1066. Most other 800MHz RAMs are poor overclockers, or even not overclockable at all. Though I say the Corsair one has a lot of potential - just make sure you tighten the CL timings to 5 if you overclock.
