Hey im overclocking my 2500 right at this moment using 2100 ram. Im using 5:4 ratio and wondering how can u tell the limit of ur ram? is there any test
 
I have never overclocked my ram and have no idea what all that timings and ratio crap is but I'm guessing there is no test besides trial and error.
 
pc2100 is speced for 133mhz(266). Your 2500 uses a 333mhz fsb which is too fast for the ram. I really suggest spending money of some pc2700 ram, AMD systems take a big performance hit from not runnign the fsb and ram in sync
 
ya im gonna buy some faster ram, didnt have money and didnt wanna wait. You think just some regular Kingston pc-3200 will hit 2.3 easy?
