I am well aware of that thread, I meant is there any OTHER memory that can consistantly hit such high FSB.
What a mix up eh?

Should be interesting, although its rare any other branded 2100 memory can hit such high FSB, its mainly down too the fact that Crucial loves more voltage, and with 3.2V at my disposle (sorry I know thats spelt wrong but 
) 170FSb is a charm!

Got the Samsung 2700 stick in and it will do 175 at 2.6v at fastest (including 1T) timing. Have not played with getting it higher but will not go over 175 at fastest settings even with v up to 2.9v. Will give more as I get it.

Best so far at 3.1. fast settings. Have not checked it for stability yet.

WOW!
The problem with all other brands of memory is even with high voltage theres hardly any difference in attainable FSB.
Now when Crucial do 2700 memory....
I've also found a Vmem mod for my 8KHA+! Its supposed to allow up to 3.5V and 2.4V for the Core (overiding the overcurrent) but the instructions aren't clear.
The guy who did it though got over 188FSB.....at 2Ghz with an 1800+. Got to get me a 8K3A+, those PCI cards are a pain....
Lemme Know how the memory fairs

It's hard to vote on this when you may have only had experience with 2 or 3 manufacturers listed.
For myself. I've had Corsair and Samsung EDO SIMMs, both very stable, no issues, ran on 83Mhz bus systems. Kingston RAM in my experience doesn't seem as good as it should be, had some EDO that doesn't take an overclock too well, neither does the Kingston SDRAM I've got. The chips are a good spec, can't say the module is. I'm running IBM SDRAM in this system at the moment, but I've never strained it, it's PC-100 @ 75Mhz. My new system, I ordered Nanya PC2700 because it was that or "generic" RAM, will report on how nice it is.

Kingmax is truley excellent. I'm running it @ turbo, and all fast settings (2-2-2, 5-2), although it is at 133 so I'm not sure it'll take these speeds @ high fsbs if I do however overclock.

I have no idea who mine is made by, it says on it 'IRL DEM DP133 - 064323E' it is PC133 rated at CAS3, but it does 165MHz at CAS2.
