    Corsair Value Select Questions

    I am looking at VS2GBKIT400C3
    2GB CL3 DDR400 RAM
    for about £95+VAT for an MSI K8T Neo FIS2R
    Corsair's site lists this mem as compatible with my motherboard.
    Does anyone else here use value select RAM?
    If so, can you overclock it about 10%? (the most my system will go anyway)
    I dont care about the miniscule performance drop as a result of using CAS3 RAM rather than CAS2.5 or CAS2 as those modules are at least £30 more for something that will only ever be visible in benchmarks

    I use it, its fine and I'm glad I saved the ~£50 instead of buying "performance" ram.

    Right now mine is sitting prime stable at 225 ie 270x10 at 5:6

    Memory overclocking doesn't restrict your system if you're using an Athlon 64 as you can just stick it on a divider, why can you only get a 10% overclock?

    Cheers for that
    I have ordered some now.
