Thats probably not a bad deal......but Best Buy has PC4000's for 119$ after MIR, and they are 175 each on NewEgg.com

Except the PC4000 suck because have terrible latencies--CAS 3...I bought 2 of them and returned them in a week.

Ah, too bad you can't buy 2 of these sticks, only 1 per household.

PC4000 sucks for amd, but for intel latencies dont affect preformance as much, so pc4000 would do just fine

I dont think any of us answered his real questions....

You should notice a performance jump. But being that your multiplier is set at 10, you cant use a ratio and notice the performance. If you bump down to 9, and go 9x280 or something similar, you can use a ratio and get those frequencies up.

The KHX PC3200 with the "A" in the product code uses Winbond ch-5 chips. They are decent overclockers, but not up to the bh-5 chip's levels. With slightly relaxed timings they have been known to hit 230-240 fsb on 32-bit rigs, I don't know how they will do on A64 systems. The "A" in the product code distinguishes these from the modules using bh-5 which have no "A" in the product code. The timings also are provide a clue that these are ch-5 based modules. The review linked below will give you a pretty good idea of what they will do. Now you just need a buddy or family member to order one so that you can get a pair.

I got in for a gig and it acts like bh-5(too chicken to take heat spreaders off)

Of course yor mileage may vary as they are advertising khx 3200a/512 ch-5

It sucks because you can find the same chips on much cheaper RAM and save yourself a significant amount of cash.
