Re: The Tech Forums Official 3DMark06 Top List
Ditto. I could probably push it higher if I didn't have so many apps installed on this, although I did end as many unnecessary processes as possilbe before starting the test...
By the way, I had my RAM ratio at 3.33:1 for that overclock (so my RAM was at 1050MHz I believe). Is this okay for my Crucial Ballistix? What's the limit for DDR800 anyway? 1066, my mobo's rated FSB?

Not much of noticeable difference except for scores.

Good question. Let's find out shall we? I'm going to re-run my test, but this time with my RAM as close to 800MHz as the ratio will allow, and post the results. I'll edit this post when the test is complete.

Re: The Tech Forums Official 3DMark06 Top List
nah its not really worth it to overclock your ram IMO if all you do is game and regular computer stuff, well maybe a little
i just overclock it to run benchmarks and to see just how hard i can push it.
but it really wont make a difference in anything you would notice. unless its like a massive overclock.
