Your Ram has talent. U should reach 800mhz with that ram maybe more.... I suggest u work with current stuff, and if you feel your ram is limiting you to a higher overclock then change it..
btw tighter ram timings make little or no difference in real world performance, only in benchies and by a very small margin.

I know of these Trancend Jetram, Adata, Corsair Vs... and these are budjet ram.
Most ddr2 667 ram can do 800mhz easily. so u should get a 400fsb * 9 which equates to 3600mhz.
So u dont really need to splash out 1.5k on aftermarket Ram just for a couple hundred mhz. (my opinion anyway). Push your ram and see how far it goes.. url never know...
QFT!
I have Transcend DDR2-667 which goes up to 960 5-5-5-12 T2 but is only really stable to do SuperPi Runs. 1Mhz more and it refuses to post. Try run Orthos or 3DM06 and it throws an error. The memory is stable though at 900Mhz
You first need to see if your CPU is capable of going beyond that of the ram before you upgrade the ram.
I know for a fact that it's my ram holding me back because even when I run the CPU at 6*480 (which is only 2.88Ghz), it pushes the ram to 960 and thats its wall.
My CPU though happily hits 3.8Ghz (8*480) and I'm sure it will go further with better memory...so I'm saving up for some PC2-8500 memory!!!
8O 8O Thats awesome... Anandtech couldnt post at all with anything above 940mhz with that ram... u certainly have a very special set...
