RAM Question

[bushwakko]

I see most of you overclocking guys use crucial ram, why is that. i've seen that mushkin has 2-2-2 ram and crucial only has 2.5-3-3.
why do you then use crucial, is it because of the price or is it something else about it that is really good?

You can tune your Crucial RAM down to CAS2. It works fine at that speed. And it's cheap

$60 for a 128mb mushkin can almost get you a 512mb crucial...LOL.

Yeah, I just bought (3) 256MB PC2100 for around $90 shipped. Nice deal

it's a good overclocker too ?

In one of my PC?s I?m currently running 2 256MB PC2100 sticks at 142 MHz CAS2 without a problem. Had it as high as 146 MHz CAS 2 but my CPU temps were getting alittle high so I dropped the speed until I get better cooling.
