hi guys, ive just orderd some parts for my new pc i want to build,: a conroe E6600, and a ASUS P5W DH Deluxe .
im not building it right now, still got a kick ass system, and im hoping to get the new pc up and running in about 4 weeks, so i got some time to order the RAM.
I always overclock my pc's, and the new one isn't going to be an exeption.
In my current rig, im running a 5:4 divider on the ram/fsb, because im @ 270 mhz FSB, and that is way to high for my PC3200 2gb corsair XMS C2, tried it once with al RAM latency as high as possible, but it didn't boot, DUHHHHH.
This rig runs fine as it is right now, im getting 13000 score's with 3dmark05, with a stock x1900xtx, so no problems there.
But in the new system i really dont want that RAM/FSB divider, but i do want to overclock.
So my question is, does anybody know which speed or ( PC....) memory i need for a overclocked conroe E6600.
i saw on numerous sites that the E6600 will overclock quite well, even to 3ghz on air.
My rig is watercooled, so i assume 3ghz wouldn't be a problem for me.
If lets say 3ghz would be the standerd for my rig, on what speed is the RAM running then?.
So i can buy some RAM that runs on stock speeds in the above example.
Hope this all makes some sense to ya'll, because english is not my native language.
