    I've never run mem test in my life, no need. If my mem can run 2001 lobby tests I'm a happy camper.

    As far as voltage, 3.65V idle, Sandra bench drops it to about 3.45V, 2001 lobby tests drop it around 3.52V.

    With booster or cap mod? If cap mod, that seems rather larger drop than I am used to seeing. I guess you are running 3.3v around 3.75 or so for cap mod?

    glad you like it, OPP

    i'll be testing one of those kits very soon, maybe this weekend...
    hopefully it's really capable and extends BH-5 as i haven't seen ABSOLUTELY stable e.g. 260x10 6-2-2-2.0 1T from any 2x512MB of BH-5 in Dual Channel and AMD platform (NF2 or NF3).

    Didn't OCZ buy the rights of winbond to make BH-4? That's what these chips are aren't they?

    OCZ is not telling what these chips are, but i don't think these are BH-4, because they aren't as good as BH-5

    why is everyone saying these aren't as good as BH-5 ?

    It seems like every pair of these are smacking 250 MHz 2-2-2, with a 2x512MB kit no prob.

    BH-5 never consistently did that. Espescially with 2x512MB.

    Does anybody have an explanation, why BH-5's in 2x256 config can run up to 300 fsb with enough volts while in 2x512 config they lose out to the VX?

    Singlesided vs. Doublesided! (afaik that is the problem)

    If they run with 260 2.0-2-2-5 1T i will get a pair of these, tahts nice for
    gaming and when i bench i will stick in my BH5s!

    Well, I think the 2*512mb pairs of OCZ VX might be better overclockable then the BH-5 pairs of 2*512mb

    The difference between OCZ VX and BH-5 is more in the fact that some 256mb BH-5 sticks have done 300mhz 2-2-2-5 and there is no way OCZ VX can beat that.
    Maybe the OCZ will clock a bit higher with the new ATI chipset, how knows what will happen?

    I'm thinking of buying a 2*512mb pair of OCZ VX for my new system but I'm not really sure if that would help allot sind I allready have some Corsair XMS PRO PC4000 that can do 260mhz at 2.5-3-3-7

    Well if my new system wil be an FX-53 or FX-55 I think I might just by a pair of OCZ VX but if my new system is going to be a Pentium-M Dothan I'll stick with my XMS.
