The 4th Stage to come to a close was the Memory Clock Stage, sponsored by G.Skill. Ram from EDO all the way up to current DDR3 SDRAM was used. We missed a couple of stages due to EDO and FB-Dimm being so hard to get a hold od, not to meantion installing XP on and finnaly getting an OC AND a cpu-z validation. OCN still finished in a respectable 5th which kept the team afloat in the overall rankings. Rasparthe, Topdog and Reggiesanchez lead up this stage for the team.

At the end of this crazy long competition, even though Overclock.net lead for the majority of the 3 months, it became evident that competition was so close that if any of the above scores weren't submitted we would of finished in 2nd Place. Every one racked up the points needed for the win. Congrats to all the participants, thanks to Overclock.net for helping with the Ln2 supply and thanks to HWbot & Co for hosting the Team Cup
