I'm no guru, but there are some things i do know.
One of them is that Micron [rev. E] D9HNL doesn't clock worth crap; never has, never will. Usually you're lucky to get DDR2-900 5-5-5 with it, if that even.
It's nowhere remotely close to as good for OCing as the infamous Micron [rev. D] D9GMH or D9GKX.
Now everyone who has been getting the well regarded G.Skill F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ has been getting good results, far better than you can achieve with D9HNL.
So i naturally assumed it was using the same Powerchips ICs (possibly just lower binned) as the DDR2-1000 kit G.Skill puts out, but apparently some don't, as witnessed by r00n's DDR2 RAM List: http://ramlist.ath.cx/ddr2/
I wouldn't normally care, but since we have Cheex posting in every RAM thread about how awesome this particular kit is because it uses [what's actually very average] D9HNL, i had to get to the bottom of this
So i did: http://www.xtremesystems.org/f...howthread.php?t=173729
Obviously, some of the original kits did have Micron.
But as anyone who OCs would know, those kits won't get very far.
As the pics in that thread indicate, the newer better clocking kits are using Powerchips, just like their DDR2-1000 brother is.
Now Cheex, go check the DDR2 list & see what it lists under your kit for ICs
