I have option either to buy 2gb more of this ram or go for 2 x 2 gb gskill's 1000mhz kit. What should i do? Has anyone oc'd this ram?

It sure is. Stick with the 2x1GB for now, and if you wanna upgrade get another 2x1gb kit of the same matched ram. And make sure your gonna be running a 64-bit operating system so it will support 4GB


Or if you wanna sell that RAM and get something new that could possibly overclock better, you can get a 4x1GB kit of Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 for around $120.00 USD total which is a steal!


To start off with, id try 5-5-5-15 timings, 2.15 voltage, and DDR2-1000 MHZ frequency. If that boots up with no problems, download this right here, and burn the .ISO file to a disk

Then you can go into bios, and go to boot menu, and change the boot device priority to your CD-ROM drive and boot with the disk and it will run a memory diagnostic test to check and see if your memory overclock is stable or not. Once you get that up and running, let it run for atleast 2-3 hours and if you get no errors, then that OC is stable. If you get errors, try upping the voltage just a notch and try again

Just like overclocking the CPU, is time consuming but worth it
