XMS4400C25 VS Ballistix 4000 on DFI NF4 SLI-D.

We are planning to get the board + a 3700+ Sandie very soon. But in terms of practical overclockability on the average, we have minimal knowledge, except their rated speeds, timings, and Vdimm's.

We have not heard much of criticism on Ballistix on this Forum, however.

So, we would like to hear from you guys about your experience or what you have heard, how they differ in their charateristics when being OCed, and anything you'd like to share about the 2.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
FLDQUY157.

ballistix gets up to 280 in some cases.

ballistix has a 1gb stick which i think is nice and of the rare results i see it seems promising for 2gb 1t setup

He he he...I'd have to sell one of my kidneys to buy that stick. :)

But, seriously, I do not think that Ballistix ram products are too much overpriced.
