A while back when I was re-doing my system one of my dogs who I will not name got a hold of and chewed one of my (2) 512mb sticks of Mushkin 3500 Level II (BH-5). :rant: So even though I knew I could not get it replaced as BH-5 modules haven't been around for some time not to mention the teeth marks I sent it to them anyway. I got a reply saying that it was not covered and the exact part could not be replaced at all. But they did offer me a good deal on either 3200 "222 Special" or 3500 Level I. I had been looking everywhere and it is not to be found except Ebay. The people there got ape bidding on it and run the price sky high long before the end of the auction. This past weekend I was cleaning my wifes machine and saw the 512mb stick of Corsair XMS3200C2 sitting in ther and wondered about it as the older rev. 1.1 was BH-5. I was in luck as it is BH-5 and when I stuck it in my machine with my stick of Mushkin 3500 Level II worked great. So I went to the store and got her a "Replacement stick" and am now running 2 512 sticks (one Corsair and one Mushkin as above) @ 11.5x228=2632 with C2-2-2-11 in Dual Channel! :thumbsup:

    I'm just tickled that it worked out so good. I also can't beleive that it was right under my nose the whole time too.

    I remembered this post from this thread for starters and the 1.1 on the corner of the stick. I also remembered how well this stick did in my machine then I got the "LL" later on and it wouldn't do 2-2-2 @ 227fsb like my old rev 1.1. Heck, the "LL" wouldn't even do 2-2-2 @ 200fsb. :rant:
