Just got my 1GB set of A-Data's PC4200. As per Reefa_Madness' request, here's the picture of the chips it uses:
I was asking about what ram to get for a new rig in this thread (http://www.ocforums.com/showthread.php?t=321298) a week ago and this stuff seemed like the overwhelmingly best deal. So far, its doing well! I have it in my rig right now to test it, along with my IC7 and 2.4c. This ram has no problems running at 275fsb 1:1 at 2.8v- seems totally stable so far. This is the max OC I got with this cpu with 1GB of Buffalo PC3700 BH-5 at the 5:4 ratio.
I've gained some nice memory bandwith too, from ~6000 to ~6500.
What will be interesting to see is whether or not this new ram will let me attain a higher overclock...in the past I"ve tried improved cooling on the cpu and NB along with every tweak I could find with no improvements. I had narrowed it down to either a ram incompatibility (the "275fsb wall" is common with my mobo, its picky with ram) or my chip is all tapped out. I'll be finding out this afternoon/evening
