Which is faster or better for OCz?:

Mushkin 256Mb PC133 CAS2 7ns clock cycle (http://www.mushkin.com/cgi-bin/Mushkin.filereader?3c1fe2c9159e862e273fc0a80102066 d+EN/products/990774) @$106

or

Kingmax 256MB PC2700 CAS2.5 5ns clock cycle (http://store.yahoo.com/joyluckshop/25kintinpcdd1.html) @$75?

How can the Kingmax get a 5ns rating?

How can Radeon8500 get 3,8 ns memory?! Easy.

Of course Kingston, but with CAS 2.5 it will not get far from Mushkin.

The kingmax uses the smaller "tiny bga" chips that are similar to a cpu using .13micron vs. .18micron.

I just got the kingmax 2700ddr and so far I have it at 164mhz cas2.
Been running prime 95 for over 24hrs now without error.
Something I have doesen't like 165mhz as win xp fails to load.

What I mean is, everyone else is pushing 7 and 7.5, a few claim 6ns, but only Kingmax claims 5ns as far as I know.

How can the Kingmax get a 5ns rating? Why compare SDRAM & DDR? Do you have a MoBo that will run either at high bandwidth?

Aha! You caught me! What I meant to compare the Kingmax to was:

256MB High Performance DDR SDRAM 222 $ 99 (http://www.mushkin.com/cgi-bin/Mushkin.filereader?3c1ed5a20264cbf8273fc0a80102066 1+EN/products/990771)

BTW I picked up a Dragon+ board the other day, a KT266A chipset.
