[ed.howell]

A friend of a friend has 2x512 mb of level 2 Mushkin pc3500 bh-5 chips that he wants to sell for $375.00. He has used them for about a month.
Do you guys think its worth it from what I have--in my sig?

Thanks

Hmm...is that the highest you can do with your D43? And what's the max voltage you can give these modules?

I am pretty sure I could go higher. The only problem is that my timings are 3-4-4-8 and with the BH-5 my timings would probably be 2-2-2-5.

u can probably get some good bh5 here in the forums for cheaper..

Most likely you would have to run on dividers. How far did he get with his? BH5 isnt a fix all solution.

Personally stix with Hynix and run 1:1. Intel dosnt give a flip about timings as much as speed. If this were an AXP or A64 rig, yes wise decision. Intel? NO. Ive got a better idea.

You wanna spend $375? Buy a 6800GT, now THAT is an upgrade

Thanks guys for all your help guys. I didn't want to spend that much money for something that wouldn't make that much diff.
