Mushkin Level II Black 2-2-2 is the best money can buy. An inexpensive alternative is the BH5 chip-based Buffalo PC3700 at newegg for $103 shipped. It is known to clock to 210-230+ on good voltage at 2-2-2 timings. Finally, Corsair PC3700LL (2-2-2-6) is good RAM as well, and would be my pick over the Buffalo if money was no object, but not over the Mushkin Level II Black of any speed that you would like.

Where is everybody buying this adata ram. I hear it is very good. Buffalo comes with BH-5 chips but the pcb is pretty bad.

Constantinos, care to link anywhere? Doing a search over the past two days I have seen only 1-2 bad Buffalo posts and over 20 good ones.

depends ppl some ppl are saying titer timings are better than having the high fsb. So if u agree with the tite timings than u shouldnt get pc4000. If u want tite timings than u should go with some mushin 3200 which is rated at c2. Maybe u could look into some of the 3500 such as the ones from corsair or kingston

A-DATA is the best high-latency DDR500 bang-for-the-buck. It's rather unknown to most Americans simply b/c of the lack of supply here. Most of what we do know is through simple hearsay and the Overclockers.Com.Au review. What suprised me about the stuff was that I heard someone getting 230MHz at low (2-3-3-5) timings with the stuff. If this is true, then this isn't just some crappy 4x00 memory that Gourda's been ragging on.

Out of those three, the Mushkin.
