Corsair any good for OCing???

MadDog™ · 20th September 2006, 6:00 PM

Hey everyone,
I've just been looking inot getting some ram for my new system. I am looking at Corsair's DDR2 2GB PC-6400 (2x XMS2 1GB) TWIN2X2048-6400 RAM.
Im intending to use it with a DS3 board and E6400.

Has anybody had any experience with this ram?

As i would like to overclock the system a bit, prob up to somewhere like 2.8-3.0GHz.

Will this ram be able to handle this configuration?

Any comments and opinions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I have the CAS4 stuff 2x1GB Pro. Get GSkill 6400HZ if your looking to clock, it's also cheaper.
