time to upgrade, so whats the best/stable for running at 200mhz 2,2,2,11 or 2,3,3,11? these have caught my eye so far,

OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC3200 Dual Channel Platinum Series EL-DDR CAS2 (OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K) (MY-057-OC)

Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2 (MY-079-CS)

Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3500LL TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2 (MY-107-CS)

G.Skill 2GB DDR ZX PC3200 (2x1GB) CAS2 Dual Channel Kit (F1-3200PHU2-2GBZX) (MY-007-GS) - had a gig of ZX last year and failed memtest with hundreds of errors, didnt like my mobo i think.

so what to go for? cheers

You won't get 2-2-2-11 with 2x1gig modules, so you want one of the 2-3-2 kits, basically go for the cheapest

My ocz el ddr doesnt clock particularly well. Bit dissapointing tbh.

if i could choose again id prolly go for the corsair 3500.

But as u want too run stock the ocz is very stable at spd settings

just tested this ocz el ddr v2 2gb kit out and i'm very dissapointed

plugged it in and went into bios and notice it's spd is 2.5,3,2,5 not cas2 then hmmm. so i try it at 2,3,2,5 with the recommened voltage - 2.8v and memtest failed to load, turned it down to cas2.5 grrrr and test 5 failed with 27k errors, 2.5,3,3,5 fail, 2.5,4,4,5 fail, 4,4,11 fail cas3,3,3,11 pass woooo

it was so hot i could barely hold it to remove it, is that normal?

so i've got 2gig of cas3 when i ordered cas2, rma time i think.
