Why is memory so important in OCing
I have always used crucial ram all my life. Never had a problem. But with my next build I plan on OCing a 2.4C. I have seen a lot of people recomment Corsair or Kingston for OCing. Will crucial do the trick? What is it about memory that makes a particular type bettor for overclocking?
Thanks Ben |

I use crucial on my 20% OC and I don't have any problems with it. IMHO, you can OC with crucial. I wouldn't have bought 2 of them if I didn't think that they'd do the job. Geil is another OC-worthy RAM.

I like your OC stats. I am also going to get an asus mother board for overclocking. I am thinking about getting one of the three P4P 800, P4P 800 dlx, P4C 800 dlx. I would rather get the cheapest one. I do not need all the advanced features of the expensive P4C. But will the more expensive motherboards overclock better? Do all these mobos support hyper threading?
Thanks Ben |

Brands such as Crucial and Kingston can usually be overclocked a little, but if you're going to be doing some serious overclocking it's a good idea to invest in RAM that has been designed to handle the rigors of overclocking. That's where Corsair and Mushkin (and OCZ and Geil) come in...their RAM is made for overclocking. They purchase the best memory modules they can get and will test the RAM sticks they manufacture to see how high each batch will overclock. They just go that extra mile to ensure their RAM will meet the expectations of the serious overclocker.

I never used to over clock, but now with the newer cpu's and faster ram, its too easy and everything runs better, and solid as a rock
