Finally bought new RAM

I've been half-seriously considering replacing the generic DDR400 in my NF7-S with something better for a while (the stuff that's in there now does 200MHz @ CL 2.5 & 2.8v; it'll do 218MHz @ 2.9v, but with the worst possible timings), and Newegg had a deal that was too good to pass up...

So, I ordered 1GB (2x512MB "matched pair" :rolleyes: ) of Mushkin PC3500 Level II. The price? $205. :D

Yeah, it's refurbished, but it's also from Newegg, and computer parts are like cars- you pay a lot of extra $$ just so you can be the first one to use it. Not worth it, IMO.

    You're gonna love it! I recently switched from Corsair XMS3200LL to Mushkin 3500 Level II and it will run 2.0-2-2-11 (dual ch.) where my Corsair only went 2.0-3-2-11 (dual ch.). As soon as I get finish my new case (in the process of modding) and get my H2O up and running I will be pushing for 220fsb 2.0-2-2-11 :D, that will yield 2750MHz ( I can get it to run like that for a little while but it gets too hot to fold with my SLK-900).

    Well my Corsair XMS 3200 is presently doing 221 Mhz at 2.0-2-2-11 at 2.8V.
    That isn't too bad.
    Sounds like a couple of mediocre LL modules mtgoat.
    EDIT: 221 at 2.0-3-3-11 at 2.8V.
    It failed Prime95 so I had to loosen the timings.
