Title says it all really. I've had this board for a while now, but haven't really played with it yet. I'm RMAing my 2x512 bh-5 KHX, just didn't work for me. So I'm looking at getting a different kit. But w/ the recent things I have been hearing about CH-5 working better with some NF2 boards, at least the AN7 any way, I was wondering which would be better. I'm looking at getting 2x512.

The Buffalo PC3700 with Winbond chips that newegg has right now is BH-5.... And it's cheaper than the other stuff but you don't get that fancy heat spreader...

The Buffalo Tech at Amdmb said they don't offer BH-5 chips on PC3700 anymore. It's all Micron C now. BH-5 Buffalo are extremely hard to find..if not impossible.
Anybody know where to get it?

He told me just today... if or when the Buffalo 3700 come back they wont be BH5 cause both of Winbond plants have converted to CH5 only.

So stick w/ BH-5...I may have to splurge for some LVL 2 stuff. No bad mouthing of KHX, good stuff, just couldn't for the life of me get it over about 215.
