Hey guys,

I currently have a stick of CorsairXMS 512MB (CMX512-3200XL) that is running well at 2-3-2-5, 341 Mhz, 2.8V. I want to upgrade and use the dual channel feature so I was considering ordering one of the 2x1GB Corsair XMS sets linked to below.

Which do you suggest and would I be able to run the same FSB with similar timings, at least 2-3-3-6? Any experience with these sticks?

CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory - Retail

CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory - Retail

Thank you,

    What motherboard and proc are you running? I don't know of any 1 GB sticks that can even boot at 300 memory speeds, much less 341 fsb, and damn few sticks of 512 that will do 300+. Unless that is a misprint and you meant 241 fsb.

    Let us know.:thumbsup:

    The NF2 chipset doesn't OC well with 1GB Sticks but the Corsair sticks are good choices.

    It's very uncommon, But Two people running the new unreleased DFI NF4 SLI-DR "Venus" mobos are running 2x1GB @ 300mhz

    341 mhz=170.5X2 in DDR. 170 fsb i would assume.

    I'd love to see some 3D proof of those Gskill..won't happen i can assure.

    You're probably right, but 32M Super Pi @ 300mhz is impressive!

    Hey guys, sorry for not clarifying.

    It's 341 Mhz as in 205mhz FSB with a 5/6 Divider, and this is on the ABIT NF7-S 2.0.

    I'd suggest you grab a 2t BIOS if you don't already, 1T is only good on the NF2 board with two sticks are specific oldschool BH5 RAM and 2x256mb sticks, I'd pick the TicTac's Mantarays D26 XT 2t BIOS myself for a 2T one

    I have the Twinx2048-3200c2pro sticks which is the same but with the led's and a bigger heatsink. I doubt you will be able to get 341mhz. The highest rating I have seen is 307mhz from curcial ballistix: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=67762
