Twinmoss PC3200 with Winbond chips define Overclockers ram....underated, inexpensive, & overclocks like mad.

Re: Geil
I can almost promise you that that would be a BIG mistake.
to me (and plenty others), Geil is known as the "flea market" brand of memory. in other words, its sh*t.
I had the PC3500 DCDDR stuff and it wouldnt even run at advertised speeds while at relaxed timings.
meanwhile, my plain-Jane Corsair XMS PC3200 runs well over advertised speeds and some.

mushkin black pc3200 level2(2-2-2)
Twinmos with winbond ch-5 chips amaizing mem !!! the best pc3200 IMO
hmn although i like my corsair, the only timings which it will run at 210 fsb is 6-3-3-2.5 which only gives it 3100ish mb/s
tried all kinds of lower timings, it gets in windows at 210@[email protected] volts but fails prime95 on the first test.

I'm amazed at how many people complain that they crash or fail after they run their RAS (cycle time) at less than 5 at speeds over 200MHz. It is recommended to run RAS at 6 at 200fsb. You can cut down to 5, but you take a small chance of data corruption. Anything less than 5 is just data corruption or stability issues waiting to happen. Plus, I may add, RAS has very little effect on speed but can have a big effect on stability.
My whole point is if you want to try tight timings at 210fsb...try this: 7-2-2-2. If it works, then try 6-2-2-2. You may even get 5-2-2-2 to work. Another note, you may notice that I am running my memory @ 216 fsb with 5-2-2-2. I was not able to do that right away. The best I could do initially at 216fsb was 7-2-2-2. After a few days of Burn-in crunching Seti, I was able to change to 5-2-2-2 without errors.

Try this....this is the best my stick of Corsair XMS3200c2 will do at 216fsb stable... 5-2-3-2 with volts at 2.8 setting. It will also work with looser timings. But try those numbers I gave ya. It might be stable.

From everything I have read Geil is no part of OCZ. I do have 2-256meg sticks of OCZ PC3200 c2 rev2 which runs as good as my Corsair. I have 4-256 meg sticks of Corsair PC3200, 2-xms cas2 an 2- xms LL. I have 4-256 meg sticks of Twinmos PC3200, 2-bh5 chips an 2-ch-5 chips. All this memory runs the same for me to 220fsb. Corsair PC3200 would be the best choice, cost an warranty wise.
