Get the pc3200 they are ok and for 2.4b they overclock very nicely.
PC3700 aren't that great.
 
ChungChang...good to see you again!

I'm looking hard at a Abit NF7-s....I already have a good week 1.5v XP1700 sitting waiting on a board. I play Racing and Flight Sims big time, looking for best performance. Which of these (3200 or 3700, and what happened to 3500?) DDR's and what Timings will do that for me? Thanks!!!

You can't go wrong with the NF7-S v2.0. The best and easiest board to overclock and extremely stable. Abit has excellent customer service as well. When I first got my board, I couldn't wake up from S3(suspend-to-ram) if I overclock. After weeks of research, I decided to post my problem on several websites and found many others with the same problem. Finally, I got a hold of an Abit rep on one of the sites and he gladly reported the problem to Abit's dev team for me. Long story short, a month after that, an official bios was released which fixed the problem. On the same note, several other nForce2 boards reportedly had the same issues namely Asus and Epox. I wonder if the problem still exist on those boards.

I am still....trying to remember....who you are...Jet?
 
we need some intel guys here.

all i need left is ram, i have no idea what to buy. hard enough to buy the mobo let alone the ram.

Tell you what, I do have an Intel rig. Asus P4C800E Dlx with 2.4C. I also have a spare stick of 512MB Buffalo pc3200 w/Winbond BH-5. If no one reports their findings by this weekend, I'll put that 1 stick in and see how high I can go. I still doubt it will do 250fsb. Right now, I have 2x512 Geil Goden Dragon PC3500 in my rig. At max vDimm(2.8), they will only pass Memtest86 up to 235fsb.
 
ahh MINE SUCKS!!!
just got mine today...
first I tried it at 200MHz with timings set to SPD... stock voltage... i think it's 2.6V..
well it works perfectly...
then i reboot.. and i accidently set it to 2.0-2-3-3 instead of 2.0-6-3-3.... well needless to say... it corrupted my windows..
well later i try again at 2.0-6-3-3 with 2.8V and 217MHz.... DOESN'T BOOT...

my old cheapo ram at hardcorecooling.us would boot at those settings!!! I'M DISAPPOINTED!!
 
I've got the pc3700 256mb models running @230FSB stock voltage by SPD stable as can be. The board is a p4p800 deluxe.

Can these Buffalo be overclocked safely, knowing that they don't have heatspreaders? Or will they get too hot?

Most of the heatspreaders don't do anything. It's just a trick for Corsair, Kingston etc. to cover up the chips so you won't know they're selling overclocked ram. Then they tell you if you remove the heat spreaders, you void your warranty.

Those devious bastards!
Now only if I had gotten in on that Mushkin deal for 1 gig of 222 Black PCB Level 2 for << $200.00 a few months back. BOO.

hmm dunno if i should grab it too.. the price should be more like 85 bucks tho ..
i guess i will wait till it get cheaper then get the memory for my nforce board
 
I bought the 256 Buffalo from newegg not sure if it uses same chips as the 512 but mine does 227 FSB at 2-3-3-6 stable, good ram for the $
 
same same. That thread had some good info on it about this memory, but I just have to stick with newegg =) Never done me wrong (not even with refurbed stuff!)
