hey I thought of gettin' a new ram.
my TwinMOS PC3200 (TMD) is dissapointing me, I can't get 220 stable :mad:

I need a recommandation for a ram topped @ 230~ and will be cheap! I thougt of 512mb no need for a 1Gb and 256mb is not enough.

Thanks,
Suma.

Which chips are the TMD chips you're talking about- are those the non-TSOP sticks that are starting to roll out? (if so, where did you get them?)

My "old" TwinMOS/Winbond BH5 PC-3200 does 225Mhz @ 2.78v. Maybe you could try some of that or the CH5 stuff.

The Kingston HyperX stuff is supposed to be great also.

The new OCZ gold 3700, Hyperx 3500, and buffalo stuff is pretty good but I dont think the buffalo pc3200 will out perform the twinmos you have.

oops,
I can afford Corsair Pc3200 XMS,
my dad has 1 stick of 256, so I thought of buying another stick and putting both in DC.

I think I'll try the Corsair on my sys and see how it works
