I am looking for a cheap pair of sticks, 512X2 Kit.
it needs to go up to 250, timings isnt that important togh it will be nice to see low ones.
the problem is I Have an Nforce 2 Board, wich makes me Voltage limited, so No BH-5 :(
any suggestions ?

there is this Geil: Geil Ultra X (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820144332&ATT=Memory+System+Memory&CMP=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r)
And these Corsair: Corsair 3200XL (http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80097-08&affiliate=pgcorsair)
do you have any experience with wich one of these Sticks, and do you know any better Alternative for TCCD, or a Cheaper TCCD ?
What motherboard do you have?
I like the A-Data (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820211119) stick that I got. With my NF2 DFI I was able to run 262 2.5,4,3,7 with 3.0vdimm (boards max fsb) and in my DFI NF3 I was able to hit 292mhz 3,4,4,8.
I am not sure if they are still using the same chips... But I would think that it would be just as much of a gamble as to order the PQI sticks from Newegg.
The Geil Ultra-X is Winbond based. Corsair 3200XL should be TCCD based.

@ The-Fox, well you did say "cheap" lol
What is your budget ??
Definetly need to stick with Samsung TCC? for a good oc with low Vdimm.
The OCZ Platinum Rev2 are very good sticks and a good buy.

Ok, some answer.
my Board is Epox 8rda3+, wich does 250 BUS stable, more than that its not stable. BTW 250 is the MAX fsb at the BIOS. to try more than that I used 8rdavcore. lol I need to send Epox a picture wi me on 252 MHZ bus and to tell them that they should give some more faith in thier boards next time :D
Budget is kind of Dynamic, BTW Major, can you give me a link to the OCZ that You talked about, and how far they run and in what timings ?
