sramjones · Dec 9, 2003

The PC4000 wil get higher mhz at less speed per MHZ than the Pc3500.

Personally, i would go with the kingston PC 4000 rated at latency of 2.5

I agree with Thwei, I like going for quality rather than speed. In the end usually you get a better overclock.

If you have a P4C800-E, then you want RAM with BH-5 chips.

BH-5 loves voltage, P4C800-E only gives 2.85v Vdimm max i think. The abit ones give in excess of 3v.

Lets make this simple
Buy the best ram which will be highest fsb and lowest timings that you can afford. Most 4000 is rated 3,4,4,8 for stability and some say (which I guess could be an arguement) that the fsb makes the timings insignificant. I am still trying to determine this though so I have yet to have my own opinion on this. Rather the same as the 2.4c you are getting. A good cpu to o/c.

Simplicity gave me a set of pc3200"s running at 2.5,4,4,8 with a fsb of 250 and a sandra mem result of over 5600 on both bars. This with the P4C800dx board, mem voltage on auto.

The reason I advise you to go with BH-5 chips is because it seems that any other kind of RAM will limit your overclock, for some weird reason, when you're using certain i875 combinations. This includes a 2.4c and the P4C800-E. If you head over to the intel CPU section of the forums, you'll see what I'm saying.

Enough power is not an issue with the volt mod done. I'm currently using Mushkin pc3500 lvl. 2. FSB 280, 5:4, 2-2-2-6. Mine is a P4P800 but the volt mod has the same end results. Vdimm is 3.05.

I`m using OCZ PC4000 Gold (500mhz) CL 2.5-4-4-7 @ 2.8 volts
260 FSB I`ve got to 267FSB (3,227mhz) then started to get errors but you can do better if you get the 1.02 Revision Mobo

OCZ pc3500EL platinum limited edition is the best ram you can get right now. It's BH-5 and the stuff out clocks any ram on the market
