Hello
For "budgetary" reasons, I need to get some Kingston ValueRam for my P4P800 ... the Asus P4P800 web page says that Kingston ValueRam *IS* tested with this board, and the module to get is the 256meg module with the Winbond W942508BH-5 chip.
Problem is that my supplier can only get the Kingston ValueRam with the Winbond W942508CH-5 chip !!
Is the CH-5 newer ? better ? same ?
Ironically, the same Asus memory list shows "Winbond" branded memory using the W942508CH-5 *IS* also recommended and tested for this board but the list does not show the Kingston using the CH-5 as recommended.
The Winbond website specs for the W942508BH-5 & W942508CH-5 are *IDENTIAL* *EXCEPT ONLY* that the BH-5 is CL2.5 & needs 2.6v for DDR400, whislt the CH-5 is CL3 or CL2.5 and only needs 2.5v @ DDR400.
.........so if the DDR chip is the same for both Kinsgton & Winbond [both using W942508CH-5] do I have anything to worry about ? Or is it that the Asus list is simply not that up-to-date ?
