Kingston 128MB PC133 168Pins SDRAM 16x64Chip 7ns Speed RAM?

Saw this Kingston 128MB PC133 168Pins SDRAM 16x64Chip 7ns Speed RAM Clock 3 at www.newegg.com for $38

Is this good for overclocking?

I presently have one stick of Micron 128 mb PC133 7.5 ns memory on my mobo. How do these compare? Will my Micron make CAS2? Will these work fine together?

I doubt I'll be going above 140 mhz FSB but I'd be interested in comments.

7ns ram for sure can run at 142.

This RAM you saw there is only CAS3.

 

[Kingofcomputer]

All Kingston valueram are marked as cas3.
You could try to run at cas2.

How about my Micron 128 mb PC133 7.5 ns RAM? Will that overclock much above FSB 133 mhz?

So the Kinston is ok for going maybe to FSB 140, but not much more? I'm not looking for mega overclocking, but decent stable memory.

It's easy to overlock 0.5ns on any ram,
some can overclock 1ns like Infineon.

I am running 3 256MB PC100 ValueRAM sticks at 133. BIOS is set to CL2, Sandra is reporting [5,2,2,2] or [6,2,2,26] (the last is from memory).

I am in the process of getting the parts for my new pc and am going to OC it as much as possible. I am probably getting Tonicom PC166 ram which is rated up to 166 at cas3, there is a thread about this ram in this forum. You can find the ram at PCBoost.
