Just as it says. I have the bug to buy new. My OCZ is treating me well...I just need something elses to mess with. I have an ocz booster, so voltage is not a problem. I would like atleast 275+fsb...

GSkill PC4400LE or LA, if you want max FSB go with 2x256mb kit.

VX would perform better than TCCD, but it wouldn't hit 275. If raw bandwidth is the focus, than G.Skill is the one to pick, but for true performance, VX at 260-270 with 2-2-1.5 timings wins out.

I got mine from Monarh many months ago, i think Newegg carries them now. I know TCCD is on its way out, so act fast

either get g.skill LE/LA or BH5/VX/UTT. two different styles, each appropriate for different systems (although good ones can do both.)

I know this is insane but Oppainter @ XS did hit 275 stable on his and somebody tested UTT vs TCCD on a DFI NF4 and even using dividers with the UTT clocked @ 225 and the TCCD @ 275 there was very little difference in Sandra Mem Bandwidth Benchmarks.

Personally if You've got money to spend I would either buy some OCZ VX or else Komusa ddr-500 which is TCCD speed rated to hit 300FSB, only problem is its $330 a gig.

I usually only run 512...seems I have always oc'd better on 2x256 then 2x512.

Is this the correct G.Skill?
it sure is cheap....

It is not that my OCZ cant run high speeds. I just have the bug to try something new..maybe to see if it can do better.

You guys should check out this thread...very good read...about how 3200 vs like 4700 does not really matter in an A64 rig.

I have read that and for me it is a waste since I can run the exact same timings at 229 (275/166 divider) as I can at 275 1:1...

See sig for specs...
