what do you guys mean xms isnt overclockable???
i can (note the "i can" part...i dont all the time) run mine at 480+mhz w/ 4-4-3-5 timings, stable. thats a pretty beefy overclock...certainly with those timings...
at 4-4-4-12 i can run it at like 550+.
at 5-5-5-15 dont even get me started...
but in any event, ima gonna git me some gskill soon and put the xms in the moms rig. gskill is VERY overclockable, but to say that xms isnt is kinda funny. woot woot
XMS2 uses proMOS chips just as G.skill HK's and below however G.skill "binns" their chips to make sure they are highly overclockable. Corsair just makes sure they will reach the rated speeds needed, so it's a hit and miss really. You could have XMS2 that beats out the HK's and then turn around and get a stick that won't overclock 1mhz. That's why we recommend G.skill
