Mushkin!

LOOK AT THOSE TIMINGS!!!

I would take Mushkin over Kingston anyday. Their customer service is top notch. Mushkin also looks awesome with the all black PCB and heatspreaders. Not to mention the awesome performance you will get out of those. I have 512 of Lvl2 Black PC3200 that does DDR460 at 2-3-2-6, so I imagine some PC3500 will do even better.

Mushkin!

Mushkin Rules on the P4C800-e!

what about p4p800 dlx... same ram?

personally I went with the kingston hyper x pc 3500 and never regretted it. They can do 400 mhz at 2-2-2-5 and thats all I need.

Although if you feel like spending the extra few dollars I would also go with Mushkin.

I ordered mushkin level 2 blacks with an abit AI7 mb. There was a problem running these components together. Between the keeping the mb or the mushkins, I kept the mushkins and ordered a p4c800, b/c as everyone says mushkins rule.

Mushkin is the way to go.

I for one will stand up for Kingston. I just purchased a GB of kingston hyperx pc3200 and I am pleased with it. It does 2-2-2-5 at 400 mhz. I haven't tried anything higher yet.

I have nothing against Mushkin except that their memory is a bit more expensive and I got the same performance out of Kingston. They both use the same Winbond BH-5 chips.

So out of the 2 that you listed I would go for Mushkin because of the lower timings. But you could probably get the same thing from Kingston for a little better price.
