I'd like to do 240 with a AN7 ;). Also...stay tuned for my nf7-s comparing to an7 article :).

It's pretty much a toss up. How come the mushkin pc3500 has better timings than the ocz? This mean much?

Because that OCZ is CH5 obviously.

If you are wanting BH5 OCZ you need the Limited Edition. That is the only BH5 that they sell.

If you are planning on a VDIMM mod, then I would go with the cheapest one. Most BH-5 respond very well to voltage, no matter how they clock at lower voltage.

If your not planning on VDIMM mod, then I would get the PC3500 Mushkin BL2, they are "hand-picked" (sorting the chips out according to clocks) but only at low voltage (2.75V).

Well that may be the case but I have learned NOT to trust the pictures.

OCZ PC3500 EL Platinum is a limited-edition run. It uses Winbond BH-5 chips, and for this reason, alone, it is limited to OCZ's supply of BH-5 chips.

The OCZ Limited Edition is BH-5, but OCZ rate it at 6-3-2-2 due to incompatibilities with certain P4 motherboards.

That OCZ looks like the right stuff to me corbec, check the product code with the OCZ website if you wan't to confirm it.

Yes it would be, and in the case of the Sapphire 9800NP on their site you don't get the card they have pictured you get something of lesser quality instead.

I do believe its the Limted Edition i was just saying you cant just look at the pic.

Iwouldn't worry too much about false advertising laws, they are a joke, for example, have you ever been to McDonalds and bought a burger that actually looked anything like the ones advertised?

Thought not.

Well in the case I was talking about specifically you didn't get the product pictured. They probably changed it by now.

heh, I wasn't getting antsy with anyone here or anything, it's just that advertising regulations really piss me off, what's the point of having them if you don't have to abide by them?
