Which RAM? Corsair or Mushkin?

[evo4ever]

Hi guys

Whats the best memory out of 2GB Corsair XMS4400 Pro TwinX CAS3 or 2GB Mushkin XP4000 Redline Extreme Performance for running 1:1 with my HTT at 250/275? I want the best money can buy and ive come across these modules.

If you want to go 1:1 at those speeds try getting some RAM with infineon IC's on it.

I belive that these have those on it and reach some pretty insane OC's at 3-3-2-7 timings (which are pretty dam good considering what speed your running it at):

Wont the corsair be able to reach higher 1:1 HTT speeds? I was planning on running at HTT275x10 which will give me my desired CPU speed at 2750mhz while running the corsair at its designed speed at 275/550mhz (1:1). Plus this corsair RAM is £20 more than the mushkin. I get the idea that the more expensive the RAM is the better!

I've got 2GB Mushkin Extreme DDR500 and I'm running 1:1 with a X2 3800+ at 2.6

Can I get a link to the Cosair ram your talking about?

Also, the Infineon IC's seem to be the best out there for high clocks right now.
(i think)

Anyone else?

Yeah here is it here its top of the page, first product.

I'd still get the Mushkin XP4000 Redline because of the IC's that it uses. What does the Corsair use? TCCD, UCCC? Infineon IC's will pwn both of those.

 

[evo4ever]

the corsair uses infineon ic's. it says on the overclockers.co.uk website. which was the link i provided.
