Cheapest ram that can run 540mhz

[saechaka]

I would like some suggestions on what would be the cheapest ram to run 1:1 w/my 2.4c MO stepping. i'm currently running 250fsb with a 5:4 divider.

any of the ram that anandtech just looked at recently including Crucial Ballistix 3200 can almost hit DDR600

for the intel system, it seems 514mhz was the highest achieved Crucial Test Results

I'm running Crucial TwinX Pro PC4000 with my 2.4C @ 3.24GHz. The RAM is running stable at DDR 540 with 3-4-4 timings. It will run at DDR 500 with 2.5-4-3 timings. The RAM is kinda expensive though, but since newer stuff is coming out that may drive the TwinX memory prices down.

Check out PQI Turbo PC3200 at Legit Reviews - link. They ran it on an Intel testbed and managed to hit just over 270MHz with 2.5-3-3-7 and even higher with more relaxed timings. You can find a gig for $249.99 shipped at Newegg.

the new Geil ultra X series can run 533mhz@2.5-3-3-6 and 566mhz@3-3-4-7, its fantastic ram.
