Page 1 of 2 Quad SLI graphic, quad processors, quad hard disks, quad everything, but unfortunately we still do not have any kind of quad memory solution. Jamming on memory routes is all quad cases plentiful, so increase in capacity is always welcome. As dual channel is not yet replaced with quad channel, only way for increase in memory performances is pure overclocking. During previous tests performed on DDR2 memories, we showed that modules set on one speed are in most cases capable to operate significantly faster. Therefore, DDR2-533 memory with increase in operating voltage is disposed for speeds of 800 MHz, while again DDR2-800 is capable for 1000 MHz. Mainly, at least it should be like this, we are up for checking abilities on new „dosage“ of DDR2-800 module. Of course, appetites are much bigger than few months ago, so now we are aiming for 1000 MHz or slightly over. This is simply due to the reason that out of 500 MHz FSB from famous Core 2 Duo E6300 processor can be extracted full 3.5 GHz, which is very nice overclocking. Anything less than this is not interesting, because memory speeds of 800 or 900 MHz can be obtained from DDR2 533 module.
