Hey i reaaaaalllly need help on making this decision. I have A DFI SLI EXPERT and i am going to use for heavy gamming extreme ocing. So please any info with your clocks/ timings and opinions. thanks a lot

they are the exact same chips and pcb, which ever you can find used that will do high 3d would beyour best bet. I also thought OCZ wasnt selling theres any more, but mushkin is.

I had a problem like this myself and did a lot of reasearch on it. It turns out the Mushkin *generally* had *slightly* higher OC's (along the lines of about ~5-10MHz better OC), but took more volts and gave off more heat. I don't have the link, but Toms Hardware or XBit labs or Anandtech reviewed them both and compared the results.

I ended up going Mushkin Blackline though... the 2x1GB redline kits had been discontinued two days before I went to buy them *sigh*. Got to say though, I've hit 270 EASY (3-3-4-8, iirc) on my blacklines at 2.83v without any special cooling on them alone (though my case is currently open and has very good general cooling). I'm pretty sure I could take them higher, but just havn't had a chance to see where their limit is yet. IMO the Blackline series may not the as fast in the end, but it seems like a very good cheaper OC solution to me.

which EB are you talking about? the old school EB with micron chips, or the new eb?

Honestly after reading http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/memory/display/2gb-roundup.html
I say get some G.Skill Hz it is about $100 cheaper and 5mhz slower... not too huge of a difference...
