so you're saying that $35 is a bad deal for a 2GB kit?

the highest i could get them stable at 5-5-5-18 2.120v is 1206MHz most likely its the dividers on my dfi lanparty p35. adding voltage only made the system reboot as soon as it got to windows. then at 6-6-6-18 at 1.958v that let me boot to windows at 2075MHz but in no way was it stable. with these chips i'm not going for tight timings at higher overclock. i'm just going for high overclock, even though the performance is terrible.
