Ok, since nobody has done an extensive compatibility/latency/speed testing with available memory chips on the Athlon 64 platform, we need to gather our collective wisdom.

What modules have people used with good success (perhaps BH-5)?

What modules have people used with lousy results?

Currently the memory issues should be identical on all platforms, due to memory controller being on the CPU.

So, if people could just chime in and tell which chips they are using at what speeds and what kind of latencies?

cheers,

Thanks for the info so far.

Keep them coming.

KHX3200 is BH-5, so it looks like BH-5 might do the trick.
