Hey guys,
I have a problem. I have 4 sticks of 1gb ram in system. Due to some mobo issue reading 4 sticks, the memory, even though it's 800mhz, must be set on 667. As a result, I am having a problem trying to overclock my e8400. If I raise FSB, the RAM mhz goes up, resulting in system instability. Any suggestions to get around this?
Also, would it be more advantageous to drop down to 2 sticks and overclock? Ideally I could get 2 x 2 1066mhz ram, but system is only 2 or so months old and I don't want to just toss this ram. What do you think?
