Overclocking RAM?

When overclocking RAM (DDR2 800) what would be more determining to the performance increase? Clock speeds or timings?

Ex. 3-3-3-5 at 800mhz vs. 5-5-5-15 at 1000mhz

I am fairly knowledgeable with computers...

Thanks.

Re: Overclocking RAM?

the clock speeds would be a bigger factor


the timings are tweaks

Re: Overclocking RAM?

Your first step as Joe mentioned is clock speeds. At the very end after you reach higher speeds with perfect stability and temperatures (yes RAM reaches 65C when OC'd and needs good cooling) you can tweak the timings and voltages. Some boards and RAM will do DDR2-1333MHz, with relaxed timings obviously. Others simply won't go that far, not even DDR2-1GHz.
