Hello,

I recently bought this ram. I should be receiving it today or tommorrow.

I thought it was a pretty good price for Sammsy Chips. I am looking to bump my FSB to 200 . This Ram should do it right since it's PC3200 Chips. I have heard people say a lot of bad things about this ram after I ordered. I am pretty sure it will do what it's supposed to do.

Does anyone else have this ram? Or know what it's all about?

Phil

It probably doesn't have as fast timings as some of the more expensive stuff like from Corsair.

All Samsung chips are the same whether they're from an OEM or the parent company. The only really real difference is the quality of PCB and construction. The ad says that this DIMM comes with a 6 layer PCB so it should run fairly well at spec'd speeds, but anything more would be a crap shoot.

running the punk at 2000 MhZ (10*200) Ia m going to go for 2200 and will post back.

What type of timings would be aggressive?

Thanks
Phil
