just found out that it's already in newark where it was picked it ... (New Jersey), maybe it will be here tomorrow? (New York City).
Newegg has a warehouse so close? weird ...
EDIT: you didn't say anything :-\
and there's a surprise coming, too ... but AFTER the new toy ;) (about a week or 2 later)

G'luck with that slavik
Esch -- you'd prob be better off doing a vdimm mod and running tight timings rather then loose ones, even if you manage to kill off the board the price of pc4200 ram isn't that much different
I dont think going higher then PC3500 is worth it.. The extremely loose timing does more harm then good.. Yes it looks better on Sandra but does little to nothing for benchmarking...Quote:

You are better off with the vdimm mod and pushing that PC3000 or PC3200 to a higher rating... Then going to CL2.5 or CL3.0...
suuuure guys... trust me on this one. if timings hurt so much why did i just break 24k on cl2.5??? it's all about FSB on these A64 boards, and since it's not actually MY corsair, i can't v-mod that.
let's get an IRC channel going :-\
*EVERYBODY* knows that 5:4 2-2-2-5 is faster than 1:1 3-4-4-8. Don't be stupid, if you buy the PC4xxx, you'll regret it later.:(Quote:

Your not modding the memory, but the board :D
Yes you got 241xx with CL2.5 but I bet if you ran at 2-2-2-5 with some added vdimm at the same clock speed... You would easily have 245xxx :)
Slavik... Whatever you're planning, I wish you luck. But as I said, it will likely be a challenge, unless you have one FINE barton...
my ram doesn't like dividers. and the point is to run 270 1:1 with a 9 multi... i really think that would help. i had a thread about this over at xtreme and the impression i came away with was that ocz pc4200 would give me 3-3-3-7 at 270+ (which is fine, because the only timing that matters on A64 boards, according to Macci, is ras:cas, and i'm already at 3 on that).Quote:

And you don't think 270 1:1 2-2-2-5 would be faster (and cheaper)?! :confused: ;)Quote:

oh, i'm not arguing that, but what bh-5 will do 270 2-2-2-5 without major voltage?Quote:

None. :p But pump 3.6v through KHX3200 and you'll have your 270 2-2-2-5.Quote:

didn't i see a post from you called "will 3.5v hurt my RAM?"... you're worried about giving your stuff 3.5, so you tell me to give it 3.6?? i can get the 4200 for $138, the bh-5 is not that much cheaper, i don't have to worry about frying this stuff, and i can run it 24/7 at 270fsb...Quote:

If you want to pump frying voltage through the memory.. Make sure to have a very good cooling solution like a decent sized fan blowing directly on it...Quote:
