Hi,

I am interested too on the difference between level1 and 2, do the mushkin blackline pc3500 level 1 have ch-5 or bh-5 chips?? i got my level one about 6 months ago and it performs very well.

To have any hope of telling you what memory to get, we need to at least know your CPU and motherboard. Other useful info would include your overclocking plans and why you want the memory.

yes please tell us more!

the lvl 2 has bh5 chips. the lvl one has ch5 chips. the ch5 chips cant hold as tight timings as the bh5. i think the lvl2 333 is promos chips . the only thing muskin has left that holds real tight timings is the 222 special with bh6 chips..
