Mushkin 991373 2GB SP3200 DDR400 Xtreme Performance Memory

[Mr Bob]

I have the option to get the ram in the post title for $139.99 or 149.99 w/ $20 MIR. Not sure how great of a deal this is, simply because I can't find much info at all about this ram!

My current rig is in my sig, but I wanted two sticks of 1gb ram instead of 4 sticks of 512mb of ram.

Any comments on this ram? I can't find anything on it!

I have Mushkin 991492 which I believe to be the best.

ribbon, would you recommend that as the best ram for 2GB overclocking? I'm going to take an opty 165 as high as I can, but I need 2GB. I'll be using an A8N32 SLI and an XP-90C.

I have it on My GF's Opty 175 @ 270MHz 3-3-2-7 1T 1.7v

- Thanks, but... How does that help me? The ram you posted and the one I was talking about appear to be pretty different.

edit: oh, I see that you meant $140 for 2GB.

CAS2.5 totally worth an extra $20

 

[Mr Bob]

So then the deal on the ram I posted isn't a good deal?

 

[ribbon13]

It's a decent deal, you could do far worse, but you can also do slightly better.

 

[Mr Bob]

What can I do better at the same price?

 

[ribbon13]

For $140 thats about the best you can do. its $149 at newegg and only one model in it's class is cheaper.

- Will this run on a motherboard that says "DDR Standard DDR 400 (PC 3200)" but says it can use 184 pin DDR? As in the MB in my rig?

so you've actually tightened the last timing? Stock is 3-3-2-8 right? And 1.7V for mem?

Actually I have some of the very first batch. Look in the newegg photos! 3-3-2-7 stock. 2.7v sorry.

would you say for my 165 it's best to go with DDR400 with 2-3-2-5 and use a large divider or try for the highest freq. like DDR500 with 3-3-2-8? I've heard opinions both ways, but there aren't many benchmarks that compare this very well.
