Kingston 512MB HyperX DDR 500MHz

[instylz]

I was looking online and noticed BestBuy has these at $199.99 while Circuit City is selling at $129.99. I was going to buy a pair and run them at ddr333 speeds. I currently have a 3.06intel and asus p4p800se board. Since they will be underclocked from specs will I be able to run tight timings on it? Is Cas 2 even attainable? Thanks guys. :)

I can't say for sure but they probably have Hynix chips on them so you might get lucky and be able to run Cas 2 at that speed. You could also save some cash and just buy some CH-5 based sticks that will run 2,3,2,X at 333 and possibly 2,2,2,X if you get very lucky. Just pick up some Kingston HyperX PC3000 from the link in Cyber Deals. You will at least get CH-5 but may get lucky (1:20 chance) and get BH-5. I believe a 2x512 set is around $150.00US right now.

I bought mine at Bestbuy last week when they were $129-$25 (mail in rebate) =$104. They will do about 255. But, all I could get it to do is 3,3,3,6 at 200 or 3,4,4,8 at 255. Mine has Hynix chips.
