2x256 Mushkin Level II PC3500 at 5:4 and 2-2-2-5

I still want DeusX2 IW and I want Thief 3.
Prince of Persia : The Sands of Time is a surprise hit but it really does need a gamepad.

I checked out Horizons, it looks cool, but I don't want to pay to play online.

Alright Thanks. I will probably end up getting CoD, B1942, and possibly NFSU. I tried the demo on this computer, and it is really bad because my stuff sucks but it should be a lot cooler on my XT.

No not on the build I have now....my new build:

2.6 'c' 800MHz FSB
Abit AI7
9800XT
2x256 Mb Mushkin Level II PC3500

Is that what you mean. For that build above I will probably use the 5:4

lol nope, you WONT!
that's why you use bh5 ram
you WILL be able to run the ram 2-2-2-5 @ 250fsb... without any problems
if you are not able to... just rma them to mushkin... you really need to be unlucky and get a lemon and I've never heard of a lemon with mushkin.
maybe you'll need more volts to get higher than 250fsb tho... but it's rated to 2.9 so who cares

So you're saying I can run that RAM at 2-2-2-5 running it at 250MHz, so I would in effect have 500MHz RAM running as super fast latencies?

Yeah, I know that they are Winbonds because I read it in a review. Thanks for the info though.
