yeah, i pretty much blew the surprise in the title.

i take back every recommendation i have made for a 256 MB DIMM over 2 128 MB DIMMs, for now.

Yeah, but you have to admit that those Mushkin 256MB modules are pretty nice:

<< the DIMMs worked flawlessly at 2:2:2 settings up to 160 MHz (memory bus frequency). >>



The 128MB rev.3 modules may do 166MHz or more which may be nice if you are overclocking a 133MHz &quot;EB&quot; CPU but if you're using a 100MHz CPU you're not likely to need the extra speed.

unless you want two 256 MB dimms.

old news to high FSB overclockers

Adul,

Sorry, I may be dense but I don't understand your comment. Why not 2 X 256MB?

um, that's just it, i've recommended 256 DIMMs to overclockers.... FOR OVERCLOCKING!
