PCMech Forums - View Single Post - Motherboard Recommendation (to go with Q6600 & 2GB OCZ DDR2 800 Cas 4)

Flanzig, I value your imput, but I already ordered the ram, and I want to overclock, so I will just have to chance the Cas 4. I will up it to Cas 5 in BIOS if I need to. Just FYI OCZ is on the DDR2 1066 QVL list so hopefully it will at least boot with DDR2 800 OCZ.
Just to make it clear, I ordered that ram because it was $20 after MIR, and still cheaper than Corsair DDR2 800 before MIRs.
I'm not seeing the overclocking potential of DDR2 667.
