I am now looking at Mushkins stuff and i am seeing these High Preformance ones and regular chips, the Hi-Perf only goes up to PC2100 but the reg chips go to 3200, the Hi-Perf runs at 2-3-3 and the regular 3000 runs at 2.5-3-3. I now need to know what would be faster and better for overall and for overclocking. here are the links to the two different ones if you want to look at them...

And then theres the other question too...Muskin or Corsair....i asked this question before but maybe this time it will be anwsered by a new crowd, the more opions the better
 
remember when i said pc3000 is just handpicked pc2700?

they don't have hi perf pc3000 cause there isn't real pc3000. they just guarantee that their pc2700 will run pc3000.

if you don't have something in a basic form to "high perform" then you can't have hi perf. understand?

like if you had a p4 2.53ghz processor (the newest one) and someone was selling handpicked versions of the same chip as a p4 2.7ghz (for example). there is no "real" 2.7ghz p4 chip so you can't make a hi perf 2.7ghz.

hope that helps.
 
Yeah i understand about what you said before, but what i wanted to know ok if you had the choice, and they were the same price what would you pick the regular PC3000 at 2.5-3-3 or the Hi-Perf PC2100 at 2-3-3. It seems to me that the 3000 is better, but then again the Hi-Perf is cheaper, and i dont know why...Thanks

By the way am i getting anoying? U should be happy i am making more posts for you ;)
 
i'd get the pc3000 with lower settings. cause even not overclocked (above each memory's spec speed) the pc3000 will easily beat the pc2100 at faster timings.

thats the reason its cheaper... cause it doesn't perform as well.

granted that pc2100 hauls *** for what it is.. just doesn't hold a candle to what the 3000 can do.
 
alrighty then, one 512 stick of Mushkin PC3000 it is, thanks for all of your help, now i understand all that i wanted to
