i need new ram... have no clue what to get, help!

skidooosl · Mar 20, 2004

i need some new ram, this stuff in my sig BLOWS! if i turn the voltage up past 2.6 it will error instantly in P95 and the one stick will not run past 200mhz, the other will do 208mhz... what would be my best bet to get around 220 to 240 or so with tight timmings? i have looked around and have no clue... i am on a budget so the cheaper the better..... i just want something i can turn the voltage up with out errors and get a good FSB with for the new mobile 2500 i have in the mail

Whats your limit?

skidooosl · Mar 20, 2004

maybe 200 - 250 would be best, here are a few links that i was thinking....

are any of these any good? that geil has a nice price and that would get me atleast 215 right? the timmings kinda sucks on that kingston stuff... but it is pretty cheap.

would i be best to get pc3200 3500 or 4000???? i just dont want a repete of this corsair XMS i have now

I'd get these if you're looking to spend between 200 - 250 and want higher FSB with tight timings:

how fast do you think they will beable to reach? it is only 3200 and i really dont wanna end up with 200 or 208 max.... also how is mushkin with RMA's??

PerlAddict · Mar 20, 2004

Mushkin is absolutely top-notch with RMAs, from what I understand. They actually stock-piled enough BH5 (instead of selling it off like they could have) to cover future RMAs of their products.

And it's PC3200, so it should run 200Mhz FSB with no overclocking ... I'm sure people here have gotten this RAM up pretty well, but I'll let someone with it actually give some specs, as I can't remember who I've read posts here from that are using it.

are these chips BH5?

PerlAddict · Mar 21, 2004

BH6, I believe. You aren't going to find BH5 chips being sold in normal retail anymore, most likely (not sure if zipzoomfly.com has any for sale still).
