 | Finally, it was possible to find out the appropriate pins for the Socket AM2 processors
and the first interactive AMD Athlon 64 Socket AM2 pinmod guide is published on ocinside.de
It concerns - as in the previous AMD Socket A, S754 and S939 pin mod guidances - to
connect CPU pins with a small wire.
Hereby e.g. the CPU voltage can be changed, in order to reach higher overclocking results.
In the first version, the interactive pinmod guide offers already an increasement
of the CPU voltage up to 1.550 Volt (also on PC startup), which is awesome to overclock
a well cooled processor.
And depending on the used motherboard it is even possible to get a Vcore up to 1.900 Volt !

 | Crucial recently brought new Ballistix PC2-8000 memory modules to the market,
which are particularly well suitable to overclock a PC or Mac.
It was possible to reach excellence results also with default DDR2 voltage and fast timings
in the test, so the modules are also well applicable on more inexpensive motherboards
with less BIOS settings.
The test report shows the performance of the Crucial Ballistix 2 GB DDR2-1000 kit and
offers an overclocking comparison to 5 other memory modules.

I don't hold any responsibility for any damage caused by overclocking.
There is always a risk of damaging your hardware.
And your warranty becomes void if you overclock something.
