I have these winbond bh5 and bh6 mem sticks on my P4 system. I want to upgrade to amd64 3200+ with MSI K8n Neo2. Are these memory sticks work great for overclock? Can these mem chips do 250Mhz or better?

As long as you feed enough voltage through them, they probably will. In fact the highest clock I've seen with BH-5-modules on an A64 (running @ 2-2-2-x timings), is 287.5 MHz! right hereRobert said:I have these winbond bh5 and bh6 mem sticks on my P4 system.

Well, the thread title is "Max out for the BH-5", and the spec list says "Mushkin 3500 lv2 3500 BH-5", so I strongly assume it is BH-5. Anyway I think it's safe to say that you should give your good old sticks the change to prove their worth as part of your next rig.Robert said:I'm not sure that it's a bh5 -- Miguita. In the picture, I saw Run ID = G Skill's... Isn't it the TCCD?

Gautam said:222 Special is BH6. Also excellent. Both are most certainly worth keeping.
As long as you feed BH5 3.2v or above, 250MHz is a no-brainer.
Robert said:Great info about the nforce3 motherboard: Thank.
As for now, I still have P4 system. What is the recommandation on motherboard for A64 with AGP8x + good memory VDIMM? I think MSI K8n Neo2 P seem to have a lot of features I need.
I love nforce4 but I want to keep my ati X800 PE AGP8x. High-end PCI Express card is more expensive.
I don't know how long can these memory sticks last when it run at 3.2v or more.
