Overclocking SDR-RAM

Is it possible to compress/overclock my RAM, I've played some PC games which require more than I have, and they work fine, My system has only 192Mb RAM, but it will run Far Cry, which needs 256, so far no game which needs 256Mb ram has not run with troubles, I'm sure my PIII 800, will hapily go to 1000Mhz for apps if it needs to, but will my RAM, Im prob goiung to get Delta Force Black Hawk Down.

Will my RAM overclock higher than 192Mb?

Overclocking doesn't increase the amount of ram, it increases the fsb speed with increases the cpu and ram frequencies. You can see how far you can go, though you might have to change teh ram divider from 1:1 to 5:4 or 3:2 considering. RAM is pretty cheap though, better just to buy some. If you're a gamer, consider upgrading the whole system. Check out the athlon xp's if you're on a budget. Your current rig just doesn't really cut it for new games.

thanx for da advise,

Im currently building:
AMD Athlon XP 2500+
512MB PC3200 DDR RAM (If not 1024MB)
Gigabyte K7 TRITON GA-7N400Pro 2
ATI Radeon 9600XT 256MB
Creative Sound Blaster Live 5.1
80GB ATA133 HDD

Is this a wise choice, or would you reccomend otherwise.

It looks good, should be decent for games and plenty for anything else. The only thing I'd say is that I'm pretty sure that athlon has a 333mhz fsb. You'd want to match the ram speed to the fsb, meaning pc2700 ddr. (The 3200 would work, it would just downclock to the appropriate speed. You might be able to save a couple bucks though if you go with the 2700, especially if you don't plan to overclock.)
Also, if you want some really good sound, check out the audigy 2 soundcard. Not too expensive, and very very good.

OK,
I was thinkin about a Audigy 2 ZS, but its still $400, PC-2700 RAM is fairly cheep too, $120 for 512MB, or sgould I get 2X 256MB?

thanx

Oh yeah, one other thing,

I got Delta Force Black Hawk Down, and it worked with 192MB SD RAM, when the guys at the test benches are working out the min. requirements, they use 1x 128MB - dont work 2x 128Mb (256) worked, but they didnt use 1x 128 + 1x 64MB (192).

Worked like a dream, I'm running it at 800x600 w/ 4X FSAA, or 1024x768, with all details at the max on a 64MB Radeon 9200SE, the frame rate will start of at about 5-10 for the first 15 seconds then it will jump up to a smooth stable frame rate, I just downloaded Rage3D Tweak 3.9, it is great got 3.3 got my card frome 30fps to 120fps and DIDNT overclock, it just turns on cool features so that games can access cool effects and additional buffers, if ne of ya have a ATI RADEON, you must have this app.

cheers

I'd say just get teh audigy 2 zs pci card, $84 on newegg. If you can run your ram in dual channel mode, or if you plan to overclock, get 2x256, if no dual channel or overclock, it doesn't matter.
