Im having trouble thinking of what ram i should get. If you can get the BEST ram set-up for a p2.4c w/ ic7-g max3, what would you get? extreme game performance and benchmarks are +. price doesnt really matter.. but nothing to drastic.

ive heard from people around here that mushkin black level 2 is really good, and it is guaranteed to have bh-5 chips. ocz gold pc3700 is supposed to be good too. make sure you get memory with bh-5 chips though, as there is a known issue with 865/875 chipsets and ch-5 chips.

that is about as good as you can get. If you have the money I would say go with the mushkin 3500 lvl2...probably the best mem in the world. If you are like me, and have the money, but you would like to get a good deal...get khx 3000 or 3200 with 2-2-2-6 timings. Everyone that I have seen that has recently bought the 3000 has gotten bh-5, but some are not. I just bought the 3200 and got bh-5. As long as you get the 2-2-2-6 and not the 2-3-2-6 you will probably get bh-5.

If you wanted to realy save some money you could get buffalo 3700. It has bh-5, and I have seen people getting 2-2-2-x timings at any speed at same voltages as any other bh-5. It is only $200 for 2x512mb also.
