Whoops, guess high voltage isn't needed too much. Around 2.9v is good usually, your DFI board should be able to do that.

^^^^what he said they also like about 2.6v according to Mickey Mouse who hit 300FSb 1:1 3,3,3,8 timings.
Other than that Mushkin is coming out with something that Charlie over at XS is testing and getting some pretty impressive results.

thanks for all the replys, I think I might go with the ballistix.
This is a perfect thread for me, now what if im not going to overclock but I want the best bang for my buck, i want a 2gig setup and have around $300, but i dont want any "value" stuff, i want to be able to transfer the ram to my new system and not be bottlenecked if i decide to upgrade in 6 months or so..

I believe Ballistix are around $300. Depending on which OCZ's you choose you should be in the $250-$275 ballpark neither of which are 'value' RAM.

Trendy1, if you are not going to overclock them, the OCZ with there low latency timings will serve you quite well. It wasn't that long ago when 1 gig sticks were much slower. I used them in a rig I bult this summer and they do perform quite well at those timings.

I understand that the GSkills are good budget 1 gig sticks, but the OCZ low latency ones have gotten to be just a few dollars more and are probably better.karsten said:

The OCZ sticks are better than the GSkills. I'd go for the low latency ones too, like rseven said.

crucial ballistix..mine hit 300mhz @ 3-3-3-8-7-0-1T @ 2.8v (stable forever @ 3.1v)
I run them at 297mhz @ 2.8v (b/c my cpu maxes out at 297x9)....hopefully when my opty 175 gets here it will overclock to at least 300x9 and I'll max out my RAM
anyway, ballistix if you are going to overclock with high HTT's, OCZ if you are going to overclock with 230-260 HTT's
and crosair if you are not going to overclock.
that's the best I can do for yahz...ENJOY!
