Save 10% by using the code ANAND when ordering! This is directly from an Anandtech AD banner, up top, so it should be ok

I see that the PCB color is green (hint on the basic line), so I doubt these sticks are gonna O/C well.

Why do you believe that green pcbs don't overclock well? Its just dye. If the manufacturer used red dye instead of green would these be faster?

We're talking about Mushkin...

Factor in the low price and that even Mushkin's own top of the line "black" PC3500 stick usually don't go pass 230-240 MHz and it's not hard to figure out why these cheap promo sticks won't OC well.

We're talking about PC3200 here. Do you expect any relatively low-priced PC3200 stick to O/C well? Nothing wrong with these sticks, as they're pretty much guarateed to run on any Canterwood board, but if you expect the same level of O/Cing headroom as with the "black" line, you'll be dissapointed.

Next time think before you ask "why".

I just ordered a dual pack of 512 for $99. If it will run at 400 mhz at 222 this is some very good memory. Very very few 400 mhz modules will at 222 at 400. So its gotta be at least a 5 sec module. I think this is a very good deal. Corsairs for comparison only guarantee their 3200LL to run at 400 222 6 1T. So this is a pretty hot deal to me.

Indeed. Have you honestly bought any Mushkin memory before? Do you even know what you are talking about?

Please, at least try to back yourself up with some concrete reasoning.

And you have 10 seconds to guess what I've in my rig right now...

Well unless you have this ram you really have done nothing but mouth off. Mushkin has been one the best memory companies down through the years. Outside of Corsair I don't know of a better overall memory company.

Mushkin has gone down in quality over the years and higher in prices. However if I can get 2 CAS and 2x256MB sticks for $99 I'll take it. :p

Heck classy, you bought these sticks *hoping* that they will run at 200MHz 2-2-2... and you say I'm bashing Mushkin? Oh hell no, hell no...

Sorry, you all missed my point.

My point being, even if it's Mushkin, unless the sticks are explicitly sold as a "High Performence Black" ones, don't expect any stellar O/C ability. Will these less expensive sticks run at their rated timing? You bet. Will they go much further? Not likely.

Do NOT expect to get anywhere close to where the "black" sticks can go...

Well obviously you don't read or get out much. Outside of the best modules out there, you will find a couple, with this being one that guarantees the modules will do 400 at 222. Another being Corsairs 3200LL guarantee 400 at 222. So if Mushkin is guaranteeing this speed, these modules must be very good. These might be some newer builds for them as well, cause they state that these are not regularly stocked. Which would explain the green pcbs. As far as, poor quality the Mushkin modules did pretty well here. And the price is pretty good. If a deal doesn't fit you, it just doesn't. But you don't have criticize folks who find it a good deal, just move on.

Geil, Kingston, OCZ. Nuff said. The Kingston HyperX PC3200 has been around at ~$110 for awhile.

Jebus, the benchmarks you linked to are those of the High Performence Black (HPB) series. Yes even that wonder PC2100 stick is a black one, and right now its still $115 on Mushkin's site. You just proved yourself unable to comprehend my points.

Oh, and I don't even remember saying anything even remotely close to that these promo sticks are gonna suck. If I remember right I was first responding to a question on how these sticks are gonna overclock. But apparently people always get hostile whenever they perceive something as unpleasant. Did the fact that I think these promo sticks won't overclock too well upset you? Otherwise please explain what you mean by "criticizing folks who find it a good deal." Maybe you should stop citicizing others for raising doubts, which isn't a bad thing, especially in the context of groupthink. God knows why I love to f*ck around people like you... :)

I know that Viper doesn't need any help here since he's been more than holding his own, but I would like to say that classy and GtPrOjEcTX need to get a clue. Everything Viper has said has been right on and you just haven't been able to buy a clue. Color of the PCB doesn't matter.....unless it's a company like Mushkin who releases different quality ram usually using certain colors for each category(i.e. green = economy). Viper never said Mushkin was inferior and I think he even aluded to the fact that he had Mushkin in his rig. All he said was that because this looked like the economy line of ram you shouldn't expect to overclock it really well. That is a very valid point and something that anyone who is considering buying this ram and o/c should know. You guys need to realize that Viper is the only one who seems to know what he's talking about and you guys were both taking the opportunity to be a$$es just cause you THOUGHT he didn't.
