Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.chips (More info?) Haven't found any benchmark on the Pentium mobile M710 CPU. Is it Celeron in disguise, or is it just a bit slower than the M725 due to 200Mhz lower clock frequency? Judging from this test, M725 is in several tests just 10%...

Hi Forum, I currently have F3-16000CL9-2GBTD G.Skill Ram (6 GB, 3 sticks). They have XMP. I have a few questions regarding RAM and overclocking and its effect on gaming. 1. Does overclocking RAM yield better FPS in games or make it less spikey/more stable? 2. Does OC ram too much cause...
