Looking at these sticks for an Athlon 64, yes they are all duel channel, and yes I know that the socket 734s don't support duel channel. These sticks may be going into a 939 some day. Can't find any BH5 at this time, point me at it if you can. Corsair XMS is too expensive so it is not considered. ;)

BH5 is impossible to get unless you go egay. However, OCZ and Corsair have released new memory that can run almost as tight as BH5 but at lower voltage. OCZ calls them EB series. Have a look at some vendors what they cost, but they are the best available now. The BH5 i have a source from, is 256mb modules.

i always had problems with OCZ ram, "I" woudl stay away from it.

ive had a scenario where i got a pair of the latest and greatest pc3700 OCZ gold EL ram, it wouldnt even do 210.

RMAed it, and what do u know, same thing.

i wouldnt touch OCZ unless i got it for a great price.

I am not certain what happened that caused my brain fart, but I ment to post links to Enhanced Bandwidth (EB) Ram like Mackanz said, not (EL). :loco:

Sorry I either need more beer, or less. Not sure which. :drinkup:
