By this, do you mean PC3200? If not, what speed. And it seems there is a lot of OCZ memory on that page, can you recommend me some for under $150 a gig, Im not too smart on memory. Thanks.
-Edit- nevermind, found it :)

Value VX is not speed binned. Its not failed Gold VX. It is the same chips, it is only not hand tested, and not tested for higher speeds or the extra volts.

What I mean is if you do volt mod would these things overheat?
Edit:nvm see your post now.
Well, these sticks ARE OCZ VX chips that are just not hand tested. Meaning they would have been tested to ~3.3v 2-2-2. There's about a 50% chance that these will do 2-2-2 @ ~250 with 3.3v, which for $140 bucks, seems worth it to me. If nothing else, it's another gig.

I hope they turn out good and I'll be damned sure to buy some if I see a bunch of good screenies. Last time I jumped on a thing like this **recalls the Micron fiasco** I wasted my time and money. I sure hope this is as good as it looks.

the chips used in the twinmos speed premium are non tested also. alot of guys are getting 250.2.2.2.5 with 3.4/ 3.5 volts. i really think they will run well.i believe ocz is offering this to counter the very inexpensive twinmos modules.. . as soon as they get to the egg im gonna buy some. why dont u hold off and ill let u know how well they run , my friend..

03-01-05, 04:12 PM
these chips need at least 3.3 volts..

A OCZ rep unofficially says that 250MHz at 3.5V shouldn't be too hard with these sticks.
Yeah, i got mine and they are duds. Price you pay to be an overclocker. They are one of the "40%" that doesn't make the grade to become VX, and that's of the ones tested. These won't even do 230 stable at any volts. Still though, for only $143, it was worth a shot. Good Luck to everyone else though :p

I got my second pair in, 1 stick is running fine @ 245 2-2-2-5, and the other wont even run at 200 2-2-2-11. One is a dud, ordering a second set and using the rest as a backup.
