Yeah, but they're still good. Running a gig @ 220FSB right now.

Have you looked into Crucial's Ballistix line? It's rather cheap and performs at 2-2-2.

Good ram

Running 512MB of Mushkin Basic & 512MB of GEIL Value in the same machine. No incompatibilities in combination with the GEIL whatsoever (or vice versa) & runs fine @ 2.5-3-3-6 (could possibly go further).

you call $150 for a 512 module cheap ?!?!?!

If you were using the Ballistix line, you would have an A64, and thanks to the on-die memory controller, higher quality RAM is a waste. Go with the cheapest, most generic DDR400 you have, and you can get a gig for 150.

Mushkin, if for no other reason, than the have the best warranty warranty/RMA service I have ever had, twice ! (not bad ram, got refurb memory that somebody probably fried at half price, send it to Mushkin and got new memory)
