    Beat My 5.6gb Stick Of DDR Ram!

    A long while ago i was really burning a new Venice in with pretty bad overclocking knowledge and after going back and browsing previous cpu-z validations i noticed something quite strange. At this point when i only had two standard no name DDR sticks of 512mb of ram on x-86 xp pro. (the more knowledgeable will remember this and realize why it is important in a minute)

    After turning the fsb up to 300mhz and staying stable i was quite astonished! Although there wasn't any instability there was
    this one thing...

    Yes thats right cpu-z had even verified that i had a 5.6gb stick of ram when the max x-86 windows can support is 3-4gb ish total. (that's what was important). Anyone like to show me a better stick of ram?
