Can you over clock ram, if so to what speed.
with a program or sumthing else?

i wanna try overclocking my oldest RAM to keep up with the newer 512mb Ram sticks i put in

1.DDR-SDRAM 512mb PC2700 166MHz
2.DDR-SDRAM 512mb PC2700 166MHz
3.DDR-SDRAM 512mb PC3200 200MHz
4.DDR-SDRAM 512mb PC3200 200MHz

Can these be overclocked?
Three new, one old i believe one of the 166MHz

You can overclock any ram but results will vary, just up the fsb speed and test if it is stable. My guess is you have some kind of value ram which wont overclock well at all.

The main idea here is to realize that you cannot overclock one stick of ram while keeping the other default - no way to do this - since you have 2 different speeds of ram, your ram is going to work on old frequencies 166MHz, no matter what - the only way to get more speed out of the whole is to increase the ram frequency itself, through bios - but your speeds will never be matched
