It will be a typo of 2.2

ahhh, didnt think of that one.... nice avatar pic btw Trickle, used to love that game. First netwrok game I ever played.... Stunt Car Racer, had it on the Amiga..... it was great.

Yeah, when I say a 2600+ running at 3.2Ghz, I mean a 2600+ running as a 3200+, so, actual speed of 2.2Ghz.

I'm only offering 5-1 on the 'it works after being taken apart and put back together', as I wont lie - its a possibility.

I want my pennies back - there's no way I want a bet if there's a poss he can't put it back together

No, my mate runs his own PC repair \ construction thingy, so he knows what's what. If something wrong, he'll tell me, if he takes it apart, he'll be able to put it back together with his eyes closed.

So, bets can be placed without the risk of a dodgy result.

I think he means he has overclocked it to 3200+ processor speeds. So overclocked to 2.2Ghz?

I had a system that failed after 3 weeks but that was due to a power supply failing. So my bet is with that!

Edit- Just realised there is another page and someone has already said this. My bad.....

No, tight timings cannot damage your RAM. It can however, create instability. Like |SilentDeath| has mentioned, you may not have stressed your system that much in the 3 weeks you had it. Considering you haven't increased the vDIMM as well, that'll increase the chances of your system to not start-up or cause stuff like this to happen.
