anyone have the abit IS7 + buffalo 2xbuffalo pc3200 + 5:4 divider working?

just wanted to see if anyone was running that combination because i have heard of problems with this board and an looking for some cheap memory

Just don't get the buffalo RAM with CH-5 winbond memory. If you get buffalo, then get it with the BH-5 winbond.

well i was going to get some from newegg and i doubt i can get them to ship on 2 bh-5 sticks

What exactly is Newegg shipping currently? All it says is PC3200 Winbond modules. I just ordered the 512 mb stick.

They are selling winbond CH-5 chips. You can tell by the last letter in the product code or whatever that is. For a winbond BH-5, you'll see B. For winbond CH-5, you'll see C.

CH-5 is still good stuff

Thanks for the vote of confidence Shady! I hate to see people tell you not to buy something you just bought! heh!

Anyway, I'm not going for radical O/Cing... but I would hope I can get that XP 2500+ up to a clock speed of 2200 mhz at stock voltage. I usually like to go for the modest O/C - whatever works with stock voltage... esp since these are supposed to run a bit hot. My goodies should be here by mid-week.

ch-5 is fine for nforce but it seems springdale/canterwood have some problems
