I will be using my Mushkin pc3500 lvl 1 in my new rig (see bottom of sig).

Any Idea how high I will be able to get this ram. Ive been running it at 210mhz (2-3-3-6, 2.6v) in my nf7-s. It should do at least 217 at cl2, but Im hoping that I can get quite a bit more out of it if I loosen the timings.

I really dont want to fork over another $300+ for new ram right now.

My system is in my sig. 2-2-2-11 on my NF7-S with 2.9v. I had it up to 230 with those timings and had it up to 245 with 2-3-3-11. Maybe try a new BIOS if you want to get that RAM cookin'! Oh yea, and the '11' part on the timings seem to be the best for the NF7-S.

I have this ram right now, see sig. That's @ 2.6vdimm and with a fsb limited mobo. I took these sticks to 230fsb with the nf7 that I no longer have. As far as voltage goes, between 2.8-2.9 vdimm, you really don't see much of a difference in overclockability. However, if push the vdimm to 3.1+ volts, then these things have been known to fly. I recommend that you give your sticks a good burn in to maximize your OC.
