what is the highest fsb ppl hv luck on these? I almost bot them here in Hong Kong, but decided to go with Crucial which is on the way to me.
Without much tweaking I got mine to 255@2.5-3-3-6 and 260ish@3-3-3-8. I still need to figure out which dram timings these things like and maybe I can get a few more mhz out of them.
I'm using the red pcb Patriot sticks by-the-way. Bought them off Monarch a week ago.
THose look just like mine, now tell him to rip the spreaders off and youll really know, you need CE-6Quote:

thx perc,
2x1gb will always run 1tQuote:

thx perc,
the ballistix imho is not worth it. if your feeling lucky shoot for some patriot red pcb... seems monarch has been sending them out. the patriot is the only ram out on the market right now that i know of using CE-6. You could also shoot for some Mushkin PC3200 BE-5 as their new batch has been clocking better than their old one...Quote:

After playing BF2 for more than a month now, I seriously have this craving to get me some 2GB ram goodness. Like just when I get into a map such as Kubra dam, basically my computer screen freezes for 3-5 secs while moving around trying to get to the choppers. I'm sick of it to say the least.
But what I'm really wondering is if there ius a 2GB kit out there that can do 255 @ 2.5-3-3-X. I saw that 2 peeps achieved this with some Mushkin 2GB kits, but i've been reading the new batch isn't as good? While some people say that the new batch is better...
All i want is 250-255 @2.5-3-3-X. Just because I've always hated high FSB high latency memory. I've always gone for the 2-2-2-5 goodness. So Duonger if you would like to comment on wether the new batch of 2GB kits could possibly still achieve this, that would be great.
stealth17, when do you exspect them? I am waiting till they get those killer red pcbs in so I can order. RMA'd Mushkin, OCZ and Ballistix as they all overclock like poop on the Asus board. The PDPs are the ONLY ones with Asus 'Approved' ram chips and overclock like hell to boot :D I would just order the PDPs but Newegg might start getting a little peed off if I keep sending ram back all the time :p:
BTW did you ask for the 'RED' stuff :confused:
should see them wednesdayQuote:
