I have my PDP Ram running at 243fsb, and it's PC3200...

Shouldn't this GSkill ram be able to do at least a 250fsb since it is PC4000? My PDP ram's timings are much looser though, more like 3-4-4-8

I paid $255.83 on 10/5 for this memory at the egg. Mine will hit 270 @ 2.8v. $199 is a steal IMO.

I just bought it for $217, but had to RMA as one of my sticks was dead. Maybe I'll call newegg today and ask em for my $18 back, I'll see.

maybe im just a "timings junkie" but 3-4-4-8 really turns me off

on the other hand, "<$200 = 2Gig" turns me on

Will these work with socket AM2? Or will only DDR2? My mobo has a future cpu slot, so probably?

I just bought an opteron 144, i have pc2700, i hope this ram you posted allows me to OC more!

I started a thread a few days about buying a single stick, so thanks for the heads up!!!!!!!!

well for being 1gb sticks and running at ddr500, their timings will suffer some. Some of the other choices on 1gb pc4000 sticks offer timings of 3-4-3-8 but you will be paying $30 ~ $80 more for them. These 2GBHZ sticks have been able to do 3-3-3-8 at ddr500 and on average goto around ddr540 at the stock 3-4-4-8 timings. A guy at the XS forums had some of this ram up to ddr580 and 32m super pi stable. The more expensive choices can and do clock a bit higher i have read, but as you said "< $200 for 2gb" is very nice indeed!

sell your machine gun (as your picture as avatar indicates) and you have money to buy the rams, go to college and sit in your cosy dorm room and play game-instead of going to jail, sitting in a cold sell next to a 300 pounds tattooed sex maniac who loves hugging you to keep you warm.
Your choice, make the call
