mobo compatibility problems, should I get Corsair, Mushkin. Kingston, or Crucial?
Well my mobo doesnt play well with the OCZPC3200 with copper HS that I got from the classifieds .
It does very well with the PC2100 Crucial that I have though.
I can only afford 256mb in the future I may add another 256mb for dual channel.
Here are my choices:
Corsair XMS 3200 (60-70$)
Crucial PC3200 (55$)
Kingmax 3200 (43$)
Kingston HyperX 3200 (60-70$)
Geil PC3200 (45$)
Mushkin PC2700 BLUE Line (62$)
Mushkin PC3200 Green Line (59$)
The ones I am interested in right now are the Crucial 3200 (because I know Micron chips work in my system) and Mushkin 2700 because I know Mushkin chips are of the utmost quality and that their tech support is very good, perhaps good enough to trouble shoot any incompatibilities with my mobo.
Otherwise, which ones use the same type of chips used on the OCZPC3200 so that I can avoid those.
If you have any suggestions to make the 3200 work on my mobo then im game, but my voltage maxes out at 2.7 vdimm and I have already tried turning down timings. I think I may be able to get them to work with some tweaking because at 100fsb it runs fine. At 133 and higher though it freezes at the NTloader screen.
Thanks.
