I currently have 256mb crucial pc2700 ram.
I have the oppurtunity to buy some kingston pc2700 value ram for a good price.
Both have the same specs as far as i can see.
Cab i use both on my abit bd7II mobo? I plan to use both sticks well within 333Mhz, probably more like 280-300Mhz.
 
come on guys!

I can only buy this ram for a limited time, so I would appreciate if someone could give me an answer.
Thanx! :)
 
well, i do plan to overclock a bit, but not very much at all.
Maybe by about 5-10Mhz, which will mean the sticks are running at 143ish, well within the rated 166Mhz.
What do you think?
 
i have a stick of crucial and a stick of kingston, running memtest86, it's always the kingston that comes up with errors when i try to use the best settings, mine uses nanya chips, i'd go crucial all the way for a little more dough

depends on how good the price is...
 
well i bought the kingston and am using both at 139fsb and they are running fine. :)
Thanx for all your help!
