    Question GSkill ZX, HZ, HX - which to buy? need advice

    I'd like to buy 2x1GB. I don't want Crucial Ballistix

    My config:
    MSI K8N SLI Platinum (5.06 bios) -> vmem max 3,1 v
    A64 3000+ @ max 9x319@max vcore (usually 9x311@1,45vcore)

    This 5.06 modded bios (best so far) offers 100, 120, 133, 140, 150, 166, 180, 200 (and 216, 233, 250) memory dividers

    According to my A64@OC, mobo and its memory dividers what sholud I choose? GSkill: ZX? HZ? HX? Something else? And why?

    GSkill:
    ZX: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231032

    I'd say ZX... it's cheapest and runs at better timings than HZ... HX is very expensive

    The HZ stuff from the egg seems like very good stuff as people are getting around 280 fsb out of it. I just picked up a set myself If anything I'm pretty sure this ram will do the same tight timings (2-3-2-5) at DDR400 anyway.

    Dzięki THX

    -------

    Hmmm, why on GSkill www: http://www.gskill.com/ddr.html

    HZ is classified as "Extreme"
    ZX as "Value" (ok, they're the cheapest)
    HX as "Value" too!!! They're the most expensive!! Why they're classified as Value?!
