I think you're right. Their photos show the cheaper(bottom) one to be BH-5 and the other CH-5.

If WB means bh5, then the 3700 is bh5.

So should I try to get the cheaper one (BH-5) if I'm going to be running it on an nforce 2?

the thins is they dont make bh-5 chips anymore so i doubt they will get any back in stock i think ch-5 runs better speeds but bh-5 has better cas and timings potential

Okeydokey. Should I go for the Buffalo pc3200, and probably get CH-5 chips, or grab the pc3700? What would be better for the nforce 2?

Their site says the BH-5 one will be back in on the 27th. I'm gonna pick up two sticks. :D

I have 2 X 256 unmatched BuffaloTech PC3700 running synchronous in sig system.

Runs 2/2/2/5 timing to 220MHz @ 2.77Vdimm.
Runs 2/2/2/5 timing to 222MHz @ 2.9Vdimm (current setting 2/2/2/7).
Runs 2.5/2/2/7 timing to 230Mhz @ 2.9Vdimm.
Won't run Memtest error-free above 230MHz at 2.9Vdimm - which is Vdimm limit on my 8RDA+.
Best memory bandwidth at Tras latency of 7.

Chips are CH5.

Hope this helps!
