I'm not looking for a recommendation, I'm hoping to get some idea of how to comparision shop for memory.
I've come across these odd terms:
CH-5 (seems to be related to TwinMOS, but what's that?)
BH-5 (seems to be what every company uses, then relabels)
BH-6 (seems to be something new?)
WinBond (the company that makes everything prior to relabeling?)
2100 (for 2.1 gig CPU's?)
2700 (an older marketing scheme for 2.7 gig CPU's)
3200 (etc...
3500 (3200 memory with new labels?)
3700 (special designs for people who can't budget?)
Maybe these is some scheme for 2100, 2700, etc...
I've noticed the label 'DDR400' and 'DDR466', which I assume means it can handle a FSB of 200 and 233 respectively. This makes sense, though DDR200 and DDR233 seems more appropriate. But, no one seems to quote these labels. Are they worthless?
I feel like I've learned a lot plugging through these forums, but it seems I've lost my memory! If there are some stickies revealing these mysteries, please let me know. I've tried use the search engine, but come up with little.
