At 3 3 3 7 timings though... I wish there were more reviews from people who ran tighter timings.

the cas latency is 2.5, but ppl tell me that it can easily do cas 2 hmm...

Must be different between the PC3200 and the PC3500 he tested. He tested them at SPD which is 3 3 3 7 for the PC3500.

the palmtreepc ram isn't too bad either...

it's 80 something and i was able to run 218 or ddr436 @ 2-3-3-7

i don't think that's too bad...

but i decided to run 200 or ddr400 @ 2-2-2-6 which is nice! :)

It cost $12.50 to ship, and $2 for insurance, $14.50 to ship a stick a ram is too much.:)

well...the 2 512 pc3200 sticks i got were not bad, but not really great either. both can do 200mhz 2,2,2,5@2.77v. one stick will go up to 210mhz 2,2,2,5@2.77v, the other will only do 205mhz 2,2,2,5 and needs 2.9v. both will go up to 220mhz 2,3,3,7@2.77v and 225mhz 2,3,3,7@2.9v.

dual channel is just wierd in my setup....so i didn't test that much with it.

I'd like to say this about RAM timings at DDR400+, it makes very little difference at the higher speeds. 2-3%. At anything under, it matters a lot.

As opposed to the slower speeds at DDR400????????
