Mushkin RAM question

[Freeze]

I have noticed that there are 3 different types of the PC133 (2 High Perf and 1 w/ Siemens) RAM on Mushkin's website listed here. What I want to know is what is the major difference in performance between the different rev's (Rev 1.5 vs Rev 2). Is it worth the extra $30 for the rev 2? Also, how does they compare to the ones with the Infineon chips? I am building a 2nd computer and I want to get some good RAM to go with it, but I can't see spending close to $200 for RAM that only offers marginal performance over a $150 stick. Other parts (haven't bought anything yet):

Abit KT7 (non RAID) w/ Duron 600@900
Alpha PAL6035 w/ sunon 60mm fan
SBLive
video tbd (GF2 MX/Radeon)
20.5 GB WD ATA66 7200RPM
CD-RW, DVD
Win 98 SE

Thanks for any help.

The Infineon chips will do you fine for that setup. I put together a similar system (Duron 650, KT7 non raid, 128MB Mushkin w' Infineon) with a stick of it and have all of the highest performace settings on in the BIOS (look below for those) and it hasn't shown any signs of the chips not being able to keep up. I think the other stuff is more suited to people overclocking Intel setups that want to handle the tough settings at the very highest bus speeds. Oh, and also check out how well Infineon chips (exact same stuff I got from Mushkin btw) did here.

cool. thanks for the settings. I am still curious how the other 2 perform compared to the Infineon....

I think the Rev 2.0 overclocks to higher extremes at Cas 2...I am using Mosel Vitalic Rev 2.0 at 150 MHZ CAS 2
