mushkin also have 4gb kits with 4.3.3.10 pc6400
they ain't out yet here

thats what i have been waiting for, the 4gb kits with tight timings

thats why the 2x1gb kits are so cheap
the 2x2gb tight timings memory is coming

Too bad they don't do international shipping, hence why i've posted this i.e. forum rules etc.

People are using 4 sticks of Crucial 8500 at 500FSB 4-4-4-12 settings etc seen peoples results having clocks over 600FSB, works out cheaper too, depends how good your boards memory controller can handle the 4 sticks though.

Very nice indeed!

I'm assuming DDR 3 will need a new chipset to run on?

yeah bearlake (p35)

Anyway whats wrong with 4x1gb modules? I don't think you'll be needing 8gb for another few years

eh look how long it took for tight timings on ddr2
ddr1 still blew the pants of ddr2 for a couple years

the time ddr3 comes into tight timings ddr4 will be out

Is this for overclocking? If so, what FSB do you require?

No, they're 4gig kits or single 2gig modules.
