I'm lucky that my Corsair DDR2-800 is able to go all the way to 270 without haveing to go anywhere near 2.5v limit of my board, but yes - those cheaper DDR2 modules on the odd multis may garner some interesting results.

But the "odd multi" may not only be a bad thing. I haven't tried an even multi AM2 yet though, but I've run tests with the multi at 12, leaving the RAM at 200 - and in some of these tests, the higher RAM speed actually just about makes up for the lower CPU speed.

My Winchester ran 2.8Ghz with 1.45V just fine. I think the major difference is I had to underclock my ram dramatically to get it that high, while DDR2 is more flexible in that regard.

The last board I owned was socketA and upgrading to the AM2 socket has really been confusing so I have a few questions: 1. If HTT decides what frequency my memory runs at, why do i need to set dividers? 2. Under my bois power features, i can set memory clock to ddr400, ddr533, ddr667 and ddr800. All the guides I see don't mention anything like these so how do I set the right one? 3. My memory is ddr2-533 so it's safe to say the highest HTT i can reach is around 266? I want to start with a safe overclock using stock cooler & voltage first and the bios settings look greek to me now. Please enlighten a confused soul...
