    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.

    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...

    where did u hear this.. that is new news to me. we didnt even bother with the ce-6 cuz it is ddr333 overclocked and the life span of overclocking those chips are shorter. thus we didnt evern bother with it.

    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 I would just order the PDPs but Newegg might start getting a little peed off if I keep sending ram back all the time

    BTW did you ask for the 'RED' stuff

    should see them wednesday

    you cant ask for the red pcb while ordering. ive even called. they said if you get green and still want red, rma them and write that you want the reb pcb version in the rma notes. even then though they cant guarantee anything

    OMG, where did you get them from? WTF is going on here, I have to call Patriot and get to the bottom of this

    Are the Ballistix BE-5 the same as well? For all we know Ballisix is using Infineon

    Gaspar, you don't work for Patriot do you,lol, as you seem to be the ONLY one with the correct chips Did Patriot screw up or something
