I'm building a new P4 2.6C system, and am deciding which XMS memory to purchase. SInce I am using the 2.6, I will most likely be using the 5:4 divider. In order to run the 3500 memory at spec the FSB be 271.25 with an overclock speed of 3.52 GHz. That seems likely to be close to or over the limit of the processor.
Here's my question. Since the 3500 memory is CAS2 and the 3700 memory is CAS3, should I buy the 3500 to gain a slight performance advantage with the CAS latency? Or, should I buy the 3700 in case I get lucky and get a processor I can push past 3.52 GHz? Also, if anyone has had any good/bad luck trying to overclock the XMS 3500 memory, please let me know.
