Just a heads up to future buyers and current owners: our high clocking CH type UTT is no longer available. Infineon has been scaling back since June and now the chips are all but extinct.

No future shipments will be made of our PC4000 Redline sticks to any major resellers and we are out at Mushkin HQ (as I was told so today)

I wish I had better news to bring.

Nothing yet Most likely this is the end of the line for DDR1 as most MFGs are preping for Socket m2 and the wide adoptation of DDR2 in early 2006

Wow this stinks, but hopefully there will be a replacement of sorts.

DDR1 itself appears to be on its way to extinction...

Probably a stupid question: Has Mushkin attempted to aggressively speed-bin the BH-quality UTT? Perhaps they can use highly binned BH-quality ICs as replacements.

Well, we all knew this was going to happen, but it is sad it had to happen this soon.
