For example

MEM-OCZ2P10004GK

motherboards support 533, 667, 800 and 1066. So this will either have to be downclocked to 800 or oc'd to 1066? or am i missing the point? :cry:

Overclocking i guess, set to 800mhz in bios and forget about it till it hits 1000 with increased fsb?

My OCZ Ram is 1000mhz.. I bought it because, at the time, 1066 was out of my price range, but I wanted some headroom for overclocking.. So I bought the fastest I could afford at the time :)

macs spot on :)

its mine too, set it to 1:1 and up the fsb.

whats the best you guys have gotten out of yours? mine will do 1070 (5-5-5-15) on 2.1v but they just dont respond to more juice at all :(

Yeah, mines pretty much the same.. Got it to boot at 1086, and running stably at 1080 at stock voltage. But you're right - seems you can put any amount of extra volts through it and it just wont go any further. I'm glad i'm not the only one who found that!

Seems to be a VERY fine line between it being stable and unstable too - just a few mhz..

I experienced this with my patriot memory. Requires a huge amount of tweaking to get it stable at higher than rated speeds.

I bought it because the price difference between 1000 and 1066 is quite significant whereas the performance boost is not.
