Id say eaither the OCZ or Mushkin Bluelines. They are both very good sticks, and will give you very nice clocks. :attn: :thup:
 
so which is more important, speed: DDR 500 vs DDR 400, or latency: 2-3-2-5 vs 3-4-3-8?
 
latency with 2gigs means nothing. it will seem buttery smooth no matter what. trust me, most of the ddr400 2-3-2-5's dont even hit pc4000 3-4-3-8. there are only 14 sticks of that mushkin left. git 'r done!
 
So I should go for that Mushkin Performance ram? I made a thread about it earlier, but no one responded :(

edit: ordered :beer: I had 2 of them sitting in my shopping cart since this morning. Since someone finally recommended them, that's all I needed to hear. :attn:
 
my bad. i was looking at another site and linked that. there is a $50 instant for the dual kit. but the 1gig is better for now till they run out.

Duonger

Also avalible on mushkins site

I was skeptical about yours and charlie's results and I wasn't able to duplicate the 2.5-3-2-8 @ 250 fsb until I went on over and saw charlie @ XS's stable settings. Now I'm happily running at 2.5-3-2-8 @ 250 fsb stable in superPI32m and 30 passes of test 5 and test 8 in memtest. All I can say is DANG.

Yeha the settings are complicated and need to be set to things you would've never thought of. An example, you have to bring the tref down to 7 or 8 from 11.
