hmmm, I'd go for the clearance first, and see what you've got left. The RAM isn't on sale, it's just that cheap, and I think it'll be like that for a little while. The Buffalo RAM only jumped a buck (from 98 to 99) in the past month or so.

How's your Ocing luck been?? I had it 2x256MB at 210, 2.7V "Optimal" but it wasn't fully stable. Am back down to 200 at "Optimal" (if you can call 8-4-4-3 optimal) timings. One stick died already. Am almost hoping the other one goes too so I can RMA both and get some Mushkin instead.

I bought 2 sticks of the PC3700 and in Dual Channel they ran 218 at
2-2-2-5 timings. These are BH-5 Winbond Chips on them. I'm at my chipsets limit now till I do a Vdd Mod and add a larger cooler to the northbridge.

As mentioned above, it's just BH-5 chips sold in a package that claims they will run at 3700 speeds. I would suggest you buy BH-5 400MHz memory, save yourself some money and just run it at the PC3700 speed (I HIGHLY doubt you'll have any difficult doing this)

Peace

Yea, I agree. This is good RAM, and usually if someone who knows how to OC puts their hands on it, it is doing into the 230's range.

before my mobo bios bad flash, I had mine at 205 tight timmings and 2.7Vdimm. So probaly with 2.9 they could hit 220-225
