These are TCCD correct? Everywhere I have seen them reviewed said they were and gave them very good reviews. 275+ easy. I have a socket A Shuttle AN35 Ultra and my Buffalo CH-5 memory is going on me....well one stick anyway. BH-5/UTT does not play well on this board at all. Supposedly a newer bios fixed it but I have tried 3 sets of sticks to no avail and since TCCD works great in it (according to others who have it and the same board) I went and got these (http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=140601&Category_Code=DDR-PDP)...outstanding price...should be here Friday!

Oh and with TCCD whats max volts? Most I ever see anyone put through them is like 2.9v. My board only does 2.5,2.6,2.7 or 3.0(with mod) or 3.3(with mod). Would I see any benefit to 3.3?

XBL is TCCD yes, might be TCC5 now though, but probably TCCD.
2.8-2.9v should be all you need for this ram. Dont expect a huge FSB, SoA/Nforce or whatever was never known for its high FSB's. Should tide you over fine for any upgrades on the AMD front as well :)

You would see a huge upside w/ your bh-5/utt on 3.3V.......or better yet, 3.6v
