Good Buy?

I recently purchased a Twinmos 1gb Dual Channel kit (2*512mb) PC3200, with stock timings of 2.5-3-4-8, for about... oohhh... $80US?

I've currently got it at 2.5-3-3-6, at DDR466 (PC3700?) and can possibly get it higher, will try tonight and post results... But was this a decent buy?

Since no one else is replying it would seem, theres nothing wrong with those sticks.. since you havent volted them at all getting them 233 1:1 with the cpu @ 2.5-3-3-6 isnt bad..however i seem to recall these sticks are neither TCCD/5 or B/CH-5/6, so i wouldnt be surprised if you couldnt get them much higher

Something to know: I have learned thru. trial and readings, that your tRAS(last #) should not be less than 1+CL+tRCD. In your case it is .5 higher which will cause instability. Best to increase your tRAS by 2+CL+tRCD(2+2.5+3=7.5~7or8=tRAS). So tRAS of 7 is iffy but 8 is were you need be.
try 2.5-3-3-7 if stable in all tests then you are ok. But if not then try 2.5-3-3-8.
