I've got Crucial PC133 in all my SDRAM systems and have had extremely good results with it.

Since building my TBird/8K7A+ system I've been running some generic PC2100 memory in it (came with motherboard at the PC show I got it at) that will not overclock at all. Processor hits 1.67 no problems by multiplier but I want that FSB!

I had been waiting the past couple months on PC2700 but could wait no longer so I ordered a couple sticks of CAS2 rated Crucial 256MB memory.

What I'm wanting here is a collection of results on how well YOUR Crucial DDR has overclocked...just out of curiosity mainly so I can get an idea of what to expect. I have a good idea already but I want that 166MHz barrier BAD!

Thanks in advance to those who participate!

PC2700 ?!?! Do you mean PC2400, but your finger slipped up to the 7 on the numberpad?

Nope. I'm sure he means PC2700. At this time there aren't any name brand PC2700, but real soon :D

Nope, PC2700. It's actually out now but I don't trust the makes of the chipsets they are using or just don't know which are used.

Thanks for all the replies so far!
