How about overclocking memory? We’ve just got word from G.SKILL that its memory was used at the start of the week (Monday 27th February) to break the world record for memory frequency. Christian Ney managed to clock the 4GB extreme RipJawsZ sticks up to 1868.3MHz equivalent to 3,736.6MHz.

There are some interesting tidbits when it comes to the attempt; including that Christian used an AMD K8-3870K for the record, a Gigbayte GA-A75-UDH motherboard and that there appears to be a validation error within CPU-Z and certain AMD chips. There’s a bit more information about it here.
