I'm looking for at least DDR1000 Ram that y ou all like, and cant hopefully do DDR1000+ (I dont need more then 1050) at low voltage, like 2.1 - 2.2V. What do you all recommend? Looking @ 2GB kits and need to stay sub 200$.
Thanks
Ballistix PC8000 or 8500 would be me choice.

What do you all think about this ram, and its Overclockability? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231128
I did a search on it and seems pretty good, just dont like the 2.3-2.4v needed.

when you say crapped out, do you mean the sticks died? why not just rma if that's the case

I am RMA'ing them, but I must have this computer operational as this is the PC that has all my website stuff, email clients, etc.... That is why ordered the Ballistix PC8500 from newegg, and had them shipped overnite. God only knows how long it will take G.Skill to process my RMA, and ship me my new sticks, I just can't afford the down time.

I've done many searches on this Ram, and it seems like I made a good choice, hell some people are even hitting 650MHz out of this stuff. Here is what im hoping this ram can do for me, can someone chime in a say YES, or NO?
For the last 5 months i've been using the 4:5 divider on my P5B and it is perfectly stable
FSB 405
DDR 1010
Mem Vdimm 2.25
4/4/4/10/42/4/10/10/10/10
Are these ballistix able to handle the 4:5 ratio? I just hope I can plug these in, and go where my G.Skill's died on me. I'm hoping I can retain the same settings of
FSB 405
DDR 1010 (these are rated for 1066, so I should be good here)
DDR Vdimm 2.25
4/4/4/10
can these sticks do it you think?
