Trying out these Mushkin HP series PC5300 sticks...
Quite nice in the $200 price range. I'm starting to see more and more $450 sets of sticks so a set at half the price is refreshing. They appear to run fine up to about 490-500 @ 4-5-4 and a bit above 510-520 at 5-5-4. This works well enough for gaming and "non xtreme usage".
When I get my P5B Dlx back from RMA I'll try these in there...

1:1 I was held back by the low FSB ability of this P5W64, 420ish...
With an E6600 or 6700 this'd be nice for 3.8gHz 24/7...
Nice bandwidth for loose timings and only 505.
any idea what IC's are on these sticks? Elpida maybe?
try cas 5-4-4-10 or close.
cas 4 doesn't mean much to me personally, but ras to cas 4 is a must for me...

what's your voltage at 418fsb?

I suspect elpida also...
Kunaak, ras to cas 4 is ok, just costs a few mHz worth of OC. Right now I'm gaming on it at 405 1:1, 4-4-4 on 975x.
For the $$ it's just fine.
I've tried from 2.1-2.4v and don't notice much of a difference.
