Overclocking my RAM with stock volts (2.1V)

I was wondering what overclock I could get with stock volts? I'm at 1066MHz now. Maybe over 1100MHz?

Also, is there any programs that will show me my RAM temperatures?

It depends on the ram. I could get DDR2 1000 out of my old Corsair DDR2 675 sticks with stock volts. You just have to try and see. Run memtest to test stability.

My old Corsair XMS2 800Mhz did 1000Mhz on stock volts, but it's different for different RAM. Just try it, I would think 1066-1100 shouldn't require a volt increase.
