Conclusion 
As noted on earlier, despite this memory being marketed at timings of 4-4-4-12, there is some considerable headroom both in lowering these values and increasing the operational frequency. As our tests have revealed using one of the best overclocking motherboards currently available - the Asus P5WD2 Premium - this memory will scale right up to 933MHz at 4-4-4-12 and 2.3V. What is more impressive is a stable 930MHz at 4-3-3-4 and 2.3V making this DDR2 from Crucial something of a great product. Testing also revealed other surprises even if one does not want or need to run at 800MHz or more, how about 3-2-2-4 at 667MHz and 2.2V? Crucial has without doubt delivered what is essentially very good performing enthusiast memory with a very reasonable price to performance ratio thanks to a current selling price of $198. Could this be the ideal RAM for 800MHz FSB Prescott/Smithfield/Presler/Cedarmill owners wanting to fund themselves some overclocking fun? It sure seems this way and with a lifetime warranty where can anyone potentially go wrong?
