just don't use CH5 ram with your setup and you're fine.

i'm buying corsair.

how do i know what chips i've got ?

btw, buying a p4p800 non deluxe for 110 €

if you buy buy corsair check either it's v1.1 or v1.2
if it's v1.1 you have a winner BH chippies :D
else it will be CH's.
corsair xms3500c2 still uses BH5, but still check the version numbers to be certain.

xms3200c2 v1.1=>BH6 (don't make them anymore, i think)
xms3200c2 v1.2=>CH6
xms3200c2LL v1.1=>BH5(don't make them anymore, i think)
xms3200c2LL v1.2=>CH5
i thought other xms'en use CH chips nowadays

A friend of mine had xms3200c2 v1.1, incompatible with Springdale and Canterwood.

it's probably corsair LL rev 1.2 --> ch-5

I'll test it on my upcoming intel setup, and if it's not workin that well, i'll put the corsair in my amd, finally decent timings, end my twinmoss in my p4, simple isn't it ? :)

CH-5 reaches reasonably high mhz, but always on relax timings.

You will most likely not hit 250 1/1, so you will end up running 250 4/5 on relax timings...

250 and 4/5 is not that good.

it is LL from corsair, so I might be ruse that it will reach over 200 fsb on decent timings, no ?

hey, i've spend much money on mem the last few months, and at the end I'm running a 2.6c and 2.8c both at 260fsb 4/5.

My 300$ mushkin black level II can do 240 5-2-2 cl2, but what's the use if 260 4/5 5-2-2 cl2 is way faster? Read Gamer's thread (PC4200 a waste of money?), don't go for 1/1, go for 4/5 at aggresive timings.

hmm oki.

I'm still aiming towards 275/225 :)
