TwinMOS memory. Any Good?

[BoomAM]

Hi,
my local pc store Overclockers UK, has started to sell 5 different brands of memory. The TwinMOS brand seems very cheap. Are they any good though?

If it has Winbond 5ns chips on it then its great. People are getting well over 200fsb with it at Cas2.

Dunno what chips they are, check OC UK, there a link to tech info on the TwinMOS website.

Check www.komplett.co.uk, they have TwinMOS 256MB chips for £45 inc shipping, and at least some of them can get 200+ fsb at CAS 2 (the PC 2700 CAS 2 chips).

look at the chips used... if it is WINBOND & ends with BH-5, then its good stuff... most people are able to overclock it at 200Mhz at aggressive settings....

Get it for $59. here
They also have some for $76. that some people use instead.
I think I'm going for the $59. babies.

Results (from a friend): TwinMOS 256MB PC2700 CAS 2, 2-2-2-7-1T, 210MHz FSB, not Winbond chips (I don't think).
www.komplett.co.uk £38 + £7 P&P

I was looking at them cos in the summer, when i come to buy the memory, i can pay on £140 for 1GB of memory(2x 512mb) rarther than £210 for the other ones that they sell.
I dont plan on OCing the memory, i`ll be getting a board, that supports the latest memory standards, and allows me to lock the memory/agp/pci speeds.

Apart from OCing, is there any point to the higher priced memory?
Like samsung, corsair, crucial, ocz (all sold at oc uk). I know that quality memory is recommended, but if it runs, then whats the problem?
