I think it maybe BH-5, cause I don't see the infamous A anywhere, but I don't know for sure. Can anyone clarify for sure?

Bet its CH-5

All new 3500 sticks are CH.

So I'd have to find some pc3200 to get bh5 then?

[Hell-Fire]

That is correct sir. I think there were some sticks of the 3500 that were BH5 when they first came out, but few and far between now.

If the voltage is rated at 2.6v then it is BH5, if its 2.5v its CH5.

Almost all if not all KHX3500 is CH5....

well the pc3500 is rated 2.6v, but the timings are 2-3-3, where as the 3200 non a is still rated at 2-2-2 w/2.6v.

I had some of the first sticks of the 3500 that came out, they were BH5, I am fairly certain of it..but tons of compat issues with them.

Forget whatever timings they throw at you man. The recommended timings for the 3500 is 2-3-3-7, but I can boot at 230fsb and 2-2-2-4 timings. What they print and what the sticks will do arent even close.

So figure get pc3200 non a over pc3500 then...
