 Hmm, more detailed specs of your system would help. Overclocking your ram (in my opinion) does not offer as much benefit as upgrading to more ram. If you're running windows XP, I recommend at least 1gb (in a 2x512mb configuration).

DO NOT OVERCLOCK YOUR RAM! It'll make your computer worse in a few months... it'll just slowly die off and you'll have to buy more ram... Unlike other components that you can, such as CPU and Videocard. They will last a long time if you overclock. RAM is the most important to allow your computer to run... You can run your computer without a Videocard... You can run your computer with a crappy processor... But you can't run anything if you have no RAM...

its called overCLOCK for a reason; to get the most out of the clock speed, without the limits most companies put on them. overclocking the RAM would be really risky. maybe tinker with an old pc , but ur main pc i'd guess not...
