I'd say get some GeIL Golden Dragon Memory. BTW, why do you want to go single channel? You benefit more from DC.

Newegg has 512Meg sticks of buffallo pc3700 for 100$. That's BH-5 chips I believe (Might not be... better check).

Why not get another stick of Mushkin, that way you can run dual channel? My Mushkin rocks, it's only supposed to run at 200 MHz with 2-3-2 timings, runs at 208 with 2-2-2 timings perfectly.

Mushkin is good but i would get TwinMOS for the price.. it's cheap and i have seen it beat XMS 3500 and other awesome and expensive ram so many times.

the mushkin i have now is kind of old it is pc3200 but it is case 3
I'm thinking it is the bottleneck on my system cause i cant get more than 1900 out of my 1700 B cpu. I can go up to about 185 fsb and it gets unstable

The Mushkin in my sig is doing 217 MHz at 2-2-2 timings. Would most likely do more but this is the limit of my board. If anything, you are getting PC-3500 2-2-2 performance out of the PC-3200 product. The black PCB looks wicked too.
