quick question b4 I drop 240 on ram

[MLMIB]

to the point.

kingston hyperX pc 3200 512 x 2 set at newegg, should I be able to get a 210-220 with this, if I up the voltage a bit? any percentages if it's a "probably"

anyone have them? any testimony? just don't wanna spend that amount of cash 'n kick myself later, 'n I was on vacation for 3 weeks, so I'm a tad bit out of the loop (missed the pc500 'n junk :-/ )

Its luck of the draw, especially with nForce2 based motherboards. Sometimes, they have issues even working at spec, other times can hit ddr500 at CAS2. From what I've seen, I'd suggest two ofthese (http://www.memoryx.net/gn512pc3200.html).

well you can get buffalo PC3700 for cheaper at newegg which is rated for 233mhz...

but the hyperx ram shouldn't hold my oc back, right? or at least not that much, right?

[ajrettke]

well it shouldnt hold back your OC but it's not guarenteed. If your ram craps out at 201mhz it's tough luck and you can't RMA it. However, if the buffalo doesn't make it to 233mhz you can RMA it and newegg will replace it....
