If you are new to the Pentium 4 overclocking scene, make time to check out this article!
For every overclocker to succeed, they need good RAM. RAM can be the reason why you hit an astonishing overclock, or the reason why you barely make it past stock.
Luckily, shop4memory.com provided us with a stick of OCZ PC3500 512MB RAM. This is guaranteed to hit 433 MHZ, will it? Continue to find out
First lets give you a few snapshots of the RAM.
Now some of you hardcore TweakTown readers might be thinking youve seen that ram here at TT before. Well Im sure you have, SOV reviewed it earlier you can read that review here.
OCZ has stuck a copper spreader onto the RAM to perhaps help with performance. Of course, the objective is to dissipate as much heat as possible from the RAM to give you that extra MHz you need to reach your goal.
Our stick of RAM, as we were told by shop4memory.com, uses Winbond 5ns chips. Definitely some good stuff here.
