Well, I was saying, I own a pair of Corsair 3200XL Pro sticks (2x512) twinx denomination, they does 250 MHz with 1T-2.5-3-3 with 2.75v, more vdimm doesn't help to get more at 1T.

I have the next options:

- To sell my memory to a guy that can give me a pair of Corsair xms3500 with BH-5 (2x256) and some money, then I could wait to have more money and get some TCCD or OCZ VX. I would have to wait about a month since I do not have much money at the moment.

- To sell my memory just for money and to get right away GSkill or OCZ VX.

- To stay with my memory and to save a little money for something else for my computer.

So? What would you do? :confused: :confused: :confused:

Thanks!

What do you use your computer for? Are you primarily a bencher or a gamer?

Last I heard, unless it has changed, I can't get the OCZ VX for review until the end of this month.
Is the rest of the hardware to be used with this ram listed in your sig?

Yup, I will only change my memory by now. And I am both, a bencher and a gamer, but not that seriously. I don't have too much time for playing. It's more the fact of knowing I have a nice machine and to gain general performance on everything I do, gaming by weekends and somethimes video encodings.

Stick with the tccd. Doesn't sound like you can justify the costs for the minimal performance you'll gain with another 20 more mhz on the memory.

If the BH5 does 250MHz +, go for it, if ir dosnt, I wouldnt even think about it;).

The big problem with BH5 is 2*512. The king of benchmarking is still yet "dethorned" but I wouldn't ditch TCCD for any kind of gaming rig.
