I don't trust them because they intentionally try to decieve the buyer by lowering the latencies to the slowest possible and then cranking up the speed

basically if you want quality timings yur not gonna get the speed it is sold at

I noticed that in some of the current reviews of the Kingstons. Hmm, anyone use OCZ ram?

I've been using 2) 256 MB sticks of 3500 for almost couple weeks now. Ran Memtest86 (C-2-3-1-2-0 space) at ultra timings 180 FSB for 8 hours...no errors last night. So far, so good;)

180FSB (360DDR) is no where near its rated/claimed speed of DDR434 though... I'd like to know whether it can go through memtest at least 210FSB...

True, just relaying what I'm currently running at:)

Heh.. I know that... I wasn't taking a shot at ya... :):D I'm just a bit peeved that my 2 sticks of XMS3200C2's couldn't do their rated speed of DDR400... Ran them one at a time and it would give me all kinds of errors in memtest anything over 196FSB... :| They're going back to Corsair... More and more, I see all these so called "extreme" memories that we pay top dollars for, not performing as they should... ok.. enough venting... :D

uhh when I read the ratings they say that the speed is only guaranteed for one stick of ram in a system. Just so you guys know ... .

I got some hyperX I'm going to stress (running 166 instead of 187). I'll let you guys know!
