Crucial's 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400 low latency memory where we also push it to see how much overhead these mature DDR2 sticks might have. Previously we took a look at some other Crucial low latency DDR2 and found they had very limited headroom, but this newer set showed a much more satisfying amount of overclocking capability.

"We asked the question "Can we exceed the manufacturer's specifications?"

The answer is a resounding YES!

I was VERY happy to see how far I could exceed the specifications - running at 1000MHz (PC8000) at 4-4-4-12 timing with 1GB sticks rated at only PC6400 is no mean feat; and provided us with some great benchmark scores.

By 1020MHz we can no longer maintain the 4-4-4-12 timing, and had to slow down to 5-5-5-15 timing to get the system stable; however at the slower latency settings, we were able to get to 1071MHz, so we were able to run these modules slightly in excess of the PC8500 specification; at PC8568 to be precise :)
