I am searching for some good memory to put into a Asus P4p800 motherboard and I ran accross a pretty good deal for Geil 3700 gold memory. Anyone know anything about them or use them?

Thanks!

They are good, but I heard its more luck then anything else.

Go with twinmos or corsair if you want a garanteed speed.

I have some TWINX512-3200LLPT if you are interested, PM me if so.

I've heard of GeIL sticks only being able to get to 200 (or a little over)... Probably not the best for max overclocks.

Generally GEIL needs high Vdimm to go high and stable.Check the specs and you'll see.

Been running two sticks of 512mb PC3200 Ultra Geil for awhile now. As soon as I get my unlocking kit and get my water back on I'm going to start pushing it.

i know that corsair and OCZ stuff is really good but this does like high voltage to run good. maybe up to 3.0VDIMM, but i definatly would not go above that.

Ok unlocked my CPU today and upped the FSB to 200. Bad thing is my ram timing now is 9-4-4 Cas2 and thats in dual mode at optimal settings.

I am not that good at ram timings yet, but those seem a little...rough?

Just talked to a mod and he said they are not the best but they are good and being able to hit Cas2 at 200FSB is very good.

Yes.
These RAM need high voltage to run to their highest performance.
