how about hose new mushkin sticks on their website:

http://www.mushkin.com/doc/products/memory_detail.asp?ID=239

eXtreme Performance 2GB (2x1GB) XP4000 3-4-3-8

duonger, what chips do they use??

would they overclock nicely?? better than that last batch of pc3200??? how about compared to those balistix??

i'm very tempted, i've been using mushkin since i started building my own computers....

i think i'm gonna buy a pair and try it out..................

what you guys think about those? should i go for them?? i mean that's lots of money but i've been wanting 2 gigs for the past 2 months....reading and reading posts and stuff.........

That memory is quite new so I have not seen any user reports on how well they compare to the Ballistix. I would check HERE for info on 2x1G sticks

Those samples of UCCC I've seen maxed way below 250 3-3-3-x.

Thats the ram I've been waiting for. I'm sure some more volts would make it do tighter timings at 250.

Because two 1GB dimms don't stress memcontroller any more than two 512MB dimms, I'd say 270-300 at 3-3-3-x for 2GB is very good.

16 out of 22 kits go above 250 3-3-3-x (some even CL 2.5) in XtremeSystems 2GB-thread, up to 300MHz.

But they'r all Crucial's Ballistix with Micron -5B D.

2x1gb Ballistix pc4000 for $158 each stick. Much better value.

They seriosuly need to get some reviews out for this stuff. I love the new heatspreaders and will definatelt pick them up if they are on par with the ballistix. Would be perfect for my new build.
