IS PC4000 over kill??????

I have the NF7-S 2.0 mobo and I was thinking of running Buffalo PC3700, because of the BH-5 chips and good OC. I was thinking has anyone put PC4000 on a AMD mobo and if so what was there results? Does any of the PC4000 come with Bh-5 chips or is there a better chip for the PC4000? The lowest timing I've seen with PC4000 stock is 2.5-4-4-7 has been GEIL. I would think I would be able to tighing it up some? What do you think?

even pc3500 is overkill for most amd systems. my pc3200 can do 235mhz, and its the motherboard that is holding me back, not the ram.

if u want to run your memory way over 250 on a 1-1 ratio get the pc4000. otherwise get some good pc3200 and run it with tight timings

Flapperhead has anyone hit 250FBS on a AMD system? Would the NB hold me back with PC4000? I'm watercooling the chipset also. Has any PC3500 or PC3700 hit 250FSB?

So PC3700 2-2-2-5 is better than PC4000 2.5-3-3-6

it is extreamly rare. Also, you only ever want to run 1:1 on an amd system.

most pc3200 will do 230+. Most nf7's cap out at around 215+. its your call.

What mobo is best for OC? So your saying I would see any change in any bench marking in the PC3200 or PC3700 buffalo, or PC4000? I was thinking the PC4000 would run cooler
