It will either be one of two things.......

OCz will suck *** or beat Mushkin.

Mushkin is extremrly consistant however they lack on the top end.

OCz tends to be hit or miss.

Good luck!

Well sad news to report. One of the mushkin sticks is bad. The working stick did 2-2-2-6 210mhz with 2.75volts. Turbo and Permance acceleration enabled. I'm sure it would have done better with more volts but since the other stick is going for a RMA the 3.0volt + test will have to wait. OCZ should be here tomorrow and I will see how that works out. Btw it looks like mushkin hiked the prices again, $365USD for a 1gb kit of 222 special now

Well I think vietp13 means why would he call the ram or type of chips infamous? What is bad about the brand or chips?

Infamous: Having an exceedingly bad reputation; notorious.

My smd grabber fell off (it was one of those radioshack things) I'm just trying to find a good source for the pomona ones before i can run high voltages again. If I can't find any i'll just solder it i guess.
