Thread Starter 
Hi.
I'm interested in overclocking my RAM to a higher speed.
But, i am unable to find any guides at the internet to explain the process, or well, i found some, but all of them where outdated.
Can any of you explain it to me, or link to a guide if you know one?
My current system can be seen under this post.
Thanks.

Your Doms will probably do about 1110 MHz 5-5-5-15 2.0v
They won't gain much (and may lose performance) by raising the voltage higher.

I thought he was just a noob and meant DIMMs...

But ya, it's all about how your RAM speed relates to your FSB, so your options are somewhat limited. Higher RAM speeds give a higher performance gain, generally speaking, than tight timings.
