Hi

I want to buy 512mb cosair memory
I will go for 2x256, so I can use it later with the new dual channel ddr motherboarts

My questions are:

What can I better go for?? pc3200 C2 or the pc3500 C2???
The price here is almost the same, so the price is not the problem.

I sure want the best memory for the best overclock, so the price doesnt matter

I want to get 200+mhz with these sticks
What memory should I buy?? pc3200 or pc3500

Many ppl say the pc3200 will go further (OC) and is faster
see review (Germany) http://www.hardwareluxx.d...opic&f=6&t=000021

Some ppl in this forum says the pc3200 OC better then the pc3500 ?? why is that??
maby the pc3500 need to burn in?? and the pc3200 doesnt need it??

The pc3200 use winbond 6 chips and the pc3500 use winbond 5 chips, so the pc3500 must be faster ??

Hope someone can help me

My system spec:

Intel P4 2.53Ghz
Epox 4G4A+

If the price is not an issue, Go for the 3500 stick...
