Are Infineon and Nec good PC-133 memories to overclock?

[ruther]

I´m going to buy a new computer in the next days: Duron 750MHz + ASUS A7V133. I will upgrade to Palomino after...

I live in Brazil and I have two memory´s options to buy: 2x128MB of NEC or 256MB of Infineon.(both PC-133)

I know I can raise the ASUS A7V133 frequency up to 145MHz, but are these memories good to do it? This is my question!

And if I raise the frequency of this mobo, can I make any damage do it? I´m asking because I don´t have experience in overclocking...(I´m asking it too because raising the frequency I think I can use "higher" Palominos, I mean, higher than 133x12,5 MHz...)

I don´t know if I made myself clear, but thanks for any help...

Infenion is one of the best manufacturers of memory. I used to have a stick of it and it did 150mhz cas2. Even Mushkin uses is in their Mushkin pc133rev3 and is guaranteed to do 150mhz 2-2-2.

Here in Brazil, 1 dollar = +- 2,4 reais...

I have two options:

1) one stick of Infineon - 256MB = 194 reais
2) two sticks of Nec - 2x128MB = 246 reais

So, clearly 1) is the best option...

I´m not so glad because I want to buy DDR, but here in Brazil it´s more difficult to find and the price is still too high...and PC-133 will become obsolete too...

Check both memories on the store, check the CAS, time access.
But if they are the same thing, cas, time access, etc. I think the INFONEON is better, MUSHKIN uses INFONEON chips.
But i heard that the NEC is not bad too.

BTW, i live in Brazil too! Currency here sux!

Do a search in the forum for Infineon and you'll get a lot of positive posts. I bought PNY PC-133 memory with Infineon chips and was able to take it to about 150MHz at CAS2!! Great memory.

Infineon is what we pretest at 150MHz. It's good stuff, and I'd take it over NEC.
