I would get Adata PC4200 from Komusa for $120. It'll easily do 270fsb.

have you ordered that ram before? how fast is their shipping? what are you running it with?

I ordered PC4000 from them and Newegg. Same memory. Their shipping was fast and prompt. I bought the memory because I was planning to get P4 2.8 or 3.0C but ended up getting sweet deal on A64 so I'm using it in my NF7-S HTPC rig right now. Ran 250fsb fine with beta bios.

PC4200 are binned chips. ~275-295 fsb seems like the max with these.

well i decided to get the adata pc4000 cause i think they must be the same as the pc4200. we'll see how far that pc4000 will go. if it hits 540mhz i'll probably order the other stick from komusa. thanks for the heads up

Did you select Adata brand from the type option? That's the one you want.
