Ok, I read this magazine about computer modding. They did this mod where they could install a Corsair 512mb PC4000 into a ASUS P4C800-E DLX. But the P4C800 said (in its specs) that it could go up to a PC3200. I just want to know how its possible to do that, so that I could try it on the same MOBO.
 
They are the same size and have 184 pins, I dont know why they would need mods... PC4000 would only really be necessary if you are doing Extreme Overclocking. The sky is the limti when you have good ram! The RAM would just undeclock itself to go down to PC3200 (200mhz), since most intel CPUs are have 200mz Bus speeds...
 
Well I read harder to understand on it, and I think they just overclocked the FSB to be able to use the PC4000, they clocked the FSB to 265mhz to be able to use the 4000. But do you just have to clock the FSB higher to be able to use higher ram?
 
No, the Ram will automatically run at 200, or whatever the FSB of your CPU is.
