Has anyone experienced with D9NHL?

I've been useing Aeneon 2GB sticks (Infineon's OEM channel) and been satisfied with it so far. It's not an overclocking RAM and it generally maxes around 900MHz, but that's all I need anyway. While considering another 2GB stick purchase for my friend's build, I've heard about these new sticks using D9NHL chips (1Gb chips), and was wondering how they perform?

Id like to know this as well, im about to jump on the 4GB bandwagon and im shooting for 2GB sticks thatll do 900.

I dont really care about timings as they barely effect real world performance at all.

See this . Quite a good review.

At first glance, there is only one word to describe the overclocking results: Surprising.

The first thing that stands out, voltage does not help at all. Why the chips behaved like this is unclear. When the MHz obtained at 1.8v is compared to other kits using D9GMH that I have tested, the speeds achieved are actually relatively impressive for what this kit is marketed as. Even the best of the D9GMH 2x1GB kits can only do ~500-530MHz at 5-5-5 with 1.8v. The difference is that the revD chips gain around 15-30MHz per 0.1v increase. These revE chips... well, they get anywhere from 5MHz to negative 3MHz with each additional 0.1v increase. Being optimistic as always, it's possible that the chips themselves are not at fault.

Thanks for the link, NoobyDoo. The performance is somewhat short of what I was expecting - I was kinda hoping it'd do CL4 @800MHz. It's true that timings make difference only in benchmarks, but for whatever reason I don't like CAS 5. LOL.
