Kingston launch 1GB dimms with 2-2-2-5 timings

Hmm I still think my BH-5 runs do better (even with games) at 260 2-2-2-5 1T. The lower size is compensated by the speed and timings. Because the best improvement I've seen by having 2gb in games is around a 5%, and 260 vs 200 is a 30%

I know it's oranges vs. apples, but overall I'm pretty sure my comp runs better with what I have.

Speed vs capacaity doesn't really correlate. You can have all the speed in the world on a 2x512MB kit but if you run out of capacity to store data it will start disk thrashing, and you can't overclock your HDD

well you can.. it just costs alot more

you can actually overclock a HDD, or are you just saying you can get a faster one like solid state drives?

yep, takes changes to the FIrmware and soldering on a new Cache chip.. but it can be done.. I highly advise against it though

Yes I know, so I said I was comparing apples to oranges. But I don't game 100% of the time, so the overall performance of my comp will be slower since I'll have to run 250 with 3-4-4-8 or maybe a bit lower, but never will be like 260 2-2-2-5.

One thing I'm sure, my next memory purchase will be DDR2. And probably helping a Conroe.

I'm so tired of superheated chips, mems and consequently cases. Anyone want to buy my rig?
