ive got some Gskill 2b HZ pc4000 running with a opteron 148. It does 3ghz with the memory at 270 (270x11) , but I think that the 146 opterons have a max multi of 10, so you can get 250x10 but with a divider on the memory. (300x10 on 2gb is impossible, though on 1gb it is) speaking from experience though Id go for something that can do 2/3/2/5 timings and put a big divider on it, as with opterons the the divider doesnt effect speed in any bad way.

I'm running 2Gb OCZ PC3200 xtc sticks with my opty,running them on a divider @ 2-3-2-5 @ 200Mhz.300x10 using a 133Mhz divider

works for me

Was running a Ballistix kit with my opty 146 but it died - surprise surprise!
Just popped in some S Skill HZ and it's fantastic.

Running at 300*10 on 1.42 volts with the memory at 272-3-4-4-8 at 2.6V. I'm well chuffed.

I'm running the Corsair TwinX 3200 2Gb kit, running at 2-3-2-5 completely stable

Fantastic bit of kit, and not the most expensive either

Should add that im also running with an opty at 2.8Ghz on a divider however. Ram at bang on 200Mhz on a 150(i think) divider

i've just got ozc pc4000 gold xtc.
2.85 on the opty.
250mhz 2.5-3-3-5 on ram.
going to run in for a week and see what happens.
loading of games etc. bloody quick and i am well chuffed.
