What will they do (max speed and timings)?
With the introduction of the UTT chips, the value of bh (and accordingly, ch) ram has dropped. Actually, if you were to go to any online retailer you would see that the price of ram is way low compared to even just 6 months ago.
It is a buyer's market right now. There were (and may still be) some for sale in the Classifieds which should give you an idea of their relative value.
Edit
Sorry...those in the Classifieds were 2x256, not 512 sticks.

Like reefa said, how far will they go? Will they do 2-2-2-X with the porper volts?

Probably $100. If they can do DDR500 w/ 2-2-2 then $150-200 but not many can do that.

Back when DDR prices where outrageous, going retail rate for my stuff was $300 . Now I'm lucky if I can sell them and get $200 for them, and I don't have run of the mill CH-5, I got the good stuff.dtc said:wow $50 - $100 for just a 50mhz increase from stock with those timings. might sell mine when i get some tccd

If you've got Winbond (BH/CH/UTT) and you've got Samsung (TCCD) you've got all the DDR1 ram you're ever going to need...with the exception being, of course, two (or more) sets of Winbond and two (or more) sets of Samsung.

3.8v is definitely too much for CH-5.

Does this mean that you have finally stopped buying DDR1? "Lord have mercy! Reefa done see the light!" That explains the price drop as you alone increased demand 10 percent!

was only looking for max test #5 memtest stable
lolOn one of my bh-5 sets i hit 270 with about 4 volts with active cooling.
my xp-90 blowing over the ram on a msi neo2 plat. and a tt 80mm sf2 blowing over the ram too.
passed memtest #5 with 400 and some odd passes no errors, and decided it was a bit too much vdimm for my precious...

You must have missed the "two (or more)" part of my post. I've just been limiting my choice of ICs, although I must admit, I've recently added Ballistix to my "Buy" category.

wheres that from :O will they work in dual channel even tho there not a matched pair ? if they do i might order some after i see some results

Dual channel packaging is mostly marketing. As long as the ram is spec'ed the same (model and same ICs) you are fine and sometimes even that is not required. The DC packs just eliminate the risk of getting different ICs for example. Case in point, certain products (Crucial's Ballistix for example) are not even sold in dual-packs...just single sticks.
