Mushkin or Kingston DDR PC3200 CL2 ??

[pickle965]

Which memory would be the best (stock & overclocking performance) dual channel in an Athlon 64 system? Mushkin PC3200 222 LII V2 or Kingston KHX3200UL? I can get either for the same price...

How much are you paying for them? Also, what is your OCing goal?

About $218 for 1GB Dual Pack, $110 per 512mb. Not sure about OCing yet, just wanted to know which can achieve higher speeds at good timings.

What's the rest of your rig? Timings don't mean much on the A64 platform, so it may be advisible to get some value RAM and use the extra money for something else.

Expensive RAM's a waste on the A64. Go with some value RAM, at $140 for 2x512MB.

Exactly, I'm using cheaper Mushkin PC3200 on my Athlon 64 and running a divider and there's no perceivable difference.
