Is ToniCom memory any good for overclocking?

[Jennifer66]

Its price is very low for 166mhz 128mb sticks.
Is it hype or does it really work?

Many ppl use ToniCom memory and OC, i hvnt seen ppl with problems with this memory.
But you may not get to 166 Mhz, cause most mobo will be the limit before you get to 166 Mhz FSB as it suppose to work.

Since I have 512 megs of the stuff, 4 128 meg chips. Not one stick will run CAS2 over 140Mhz and I cant get it to run at 150Mhz at CAS3.

A interesting thing to point out about this memory is the rated speed it reports to the computer. SiSoft Sandra showed the following for the memory. (CAS2 upto 125MHz) (CAS3 upto 166MHz) I find it rather amsuing what the sticks are saying they are rated at even tho the place I got them from (The Overclockers Store) says the ram will do 2-2-2 at 166MHz.

I've got 2 sticks of Tonicom 256MB PC166. The stuff is okay... Its rated up to CL2 @ 125, and CL3 @ 167, but I can get CAS2 @ 150 easily.

My friend Compnut has hit 160 MHz CAS 2 (222) on his BE6/700E with a 256 MB ToniCom stick installed.

I think they did a real good job in chip/layout design and the product is better than any other 'regular' SDRAM sticks.

I ordered 2 128mb sticks of the stuff and it would not run in a CUSL2 at CAS 2 at 166 FSB while 4 different sticks of Mushkin REV 3 will all run at that speed. I could not even get the sticks to run reliably at 160 FSB(CAS 2)... I kekpt on getting corrupted files when testing with 3DMark2000. I returned the sticks.
