Maybe back in the day when Mushkin was rocking the SDRAM show and crucial/corsair just made their basic memory, but I guess you haven't heard of Ballistix or XMS?

by way of update, ordered these & received. was sad to see the crap chips they put on now (buffalo used to use those sweet winbond chips back in the day).

these 1gb sticks didn't clock very well (~219+/-), even with added juice.

still, good price & appreciated.

The way I see it is this is only good for getting buy for another year or so, ddr1 would not be worth trying to over clock.

great, thanks. I want to upgrade from 2gb to 4gb. But i heard XP doesnt really use 4gb, only around 3.33? true?

3.25

There is no fixed number, it depends on the address space your hardware consumes. I've seen it get as low as 2.3GB.
