Mushkin PC2700 DDR 512 MB

Does anyone have any comments on Mushkin's latest PC2700? It's 6ns, better than most, and seems to offer pretty aggressive memory timings. Plus I like that it's approved for use with the mobo I plan to buy.
 
It looks like Corsair now offers PC2700 in a 512 MB stick with even better specifications so that might be the best route.
 
Crucial is 180 for PC2100, CAS2.5
MWave is 205+10 for PC2700, CAS 2 (with heat spreader)

Wow... anyone buy from ocsystem.com? I've heard "OCZ" tossed around a few times, but these look like good prices:
PC2400 CAS 2 for $134 + shipping (with heat spreader!!)
"Samsung" PC2700 CAS 2.5 for $156+
"OCZ Super High Performance" PC2700 CAS 2.5 for $158+ (with heat spreader!!)

It's a yahoo! shopping site... These are all prices for 512mb sticks, 'cause I might want to upgrade later.

I don't plan on overclocking my 1.8a past 150mhz (if I can even get that far) so I think I may just go for the PC2400 for ~150 total. That gives me a ceiling of 150mhz, which is 2.7ghz... right? I should go with the 1.8a over the 1.6a, right?
 
I would use Kingmax pc2700 memory. It comes with 5ns chips. Only bad thing is they only have 256MB sticks. Hopefully they'll release 512 sticks soon.
 
Mushkin PC2700 seems to run very well to me
mine is set to 344mhz, CAS 2, default voltage
completley stable and fast

The 1.8As don't oc much more than the 1.6As and have a cost premium. The 1.6As more easily hit a 133 MHz fsb and using the retail hsf.

Corsair and Kingmax seem the best choices but only Corsair offers 512 sticks. Few seem to use Mushkin these days.
 
I had bad luck with 4 sticks of Kingmax PC2700 5ns that I tried. They all had errors in Memtest 86. Kingmax tech said they were bad sticks and to exchange them. I gave up after 4 sticks. Got the 512Mb Corsair PC2700 sticks that passed all tests with flying colors. Running @ 340Mhz, CAS2, 2.5v right now.
