OEM Hercules GF2 MX using 5.5ns Ram? shouldn't it use 7ns ram instead?

Hey check this out..Is this some kind of fraud, or did hercules just get a change of heart?

Says it has 5.5ns ram.and its oem and cheap.

I think they are still misinformed/misinforming. I got the word straight from Hercules that all OEM P2 MX's will use 7ns SDRAM.

I bought my Prophet MX from UCDweb ...it is OEM and it has 7ns ram
The silver lining was that I successfully overclocked the ram to 210mhz with no problems. Core does 220 (both sliders pinned). I was going to return it until I found out how well it performed.

Should I go for a 7ns ram vid card, or should I wait till some online stores carries the eVGA 6ns gf2 mx, and is willing to deliver it to Kuwait?

Well I heard someone say (on the HarOCP forums) that their OEM Prophet locked hard at 183mhz, so its all just a matter of chance unless you get the 5.5ns retail version. The thing with these MX cards is that they really jump when overclocked ...I mean like going from 3950 to 4700 in 3dmark (for me @ 787mhz)

I'm not taking any chances (especially because I'll have it ordered to Kuwait and its not going to be cheap), so I'll probably wait for some store to offer the eVGA GF2 MX.
