I voted for the Buffalo PC3700 I want to see more testers, and their results with it.

I wish I had the money to throw around to test a bunch of different types... unfortunately I don't... so I'm looking for something I can run at 442 Mhz CAS 2 at least.

I'm using 2 512 Meg sticks of OCZ Performance Series DDR PC-3200 Rev 2, with CL 2-3-3 2T Timings, purchased from Hardcorecooling.com. I've been able to POST and boot with it set as high as 494Mhz, though Winblows would not run at that speed.
