TwinMOS 3200 w/ TwinMOS chip is around $60 in the US. I don't have a price estimate for the 3700 in the US.
Going from 5 ns to 4.3 ns, the stock frequency is 200 MHz to 232 MHz, roughly a bandwidth increase of 16% for a price increase of 40%.
So you have to assume the ABIT NF7-S can go at least to 232 MHz to benefit from the PC3700. Or to 250 MHz (25% increase) to get close to break even the 40% price increase.
Does the ABIT NF7-S allow you to adjust the NorthBridge chipset voltage, which is the key to go higher on the fsb/memory frequency?

The Twin Mos with the Twin Mos chips as good as the ones with the WinBond chips??
On the 3200??

According to MemoryX who sells 256 MB TwinMOS w/ TwinMOS chips:
"This module uses Winbond chips which have been re-labled as Twinmos brand. We can sell this module at a lower cost than the Twinmos module with Winbond markings. Function and quality are equal."
My TwinMOS 256MBx2 w/ TwinMOS chips can run 205-210 MHz 6-3-3-2 stable which is pretty good for the money (<$60/stick).
IMHO, I rather buy less expensive module using good DRAM chips (and PCB) than premium module with sorted, overclocked chips. E.g. for 6 ns chips (PC2700), Sammy is good. For 5ns chips (PC3200), Windbond is good. For 4.5/4.3ns chips, ????

A friend of mine just got the TwinMos chips and they do great also,he has them running 205 FSB.So I am definately looking forward to the cheaper priced TwinMos chips..
Not sure whats on my Winbond chips,id have to pull one to see,but my friends has 5D-4 on them.hitechjb1 said:
You said yours is 5D. Is it on windbond chip (w/ windbond label) or twinmos chip?
