When it doesn't say CL, etc....

[GreatWaves]

I need some DDR1 500Mhz. The only kinds I can find are those brands that don't say what the CL or other timings are. One brand I'm looking at is "A-Data".

Are the timings with those so much worse that it's better to get a better brand 400Mhz DDR1 and just run the RAM slower than clock speed? This would be installed with a P4 with which the FSB will likely go above 200Mhz.

I'm dusting off some old crunchers to get them crunching DC again.

Thanks

If you dont mind me asking ... why ? lol

Why mess with outdated components?

Edit
I'm putting the old hw that I used to OC with years ago back into order to do DC crunching again. Only a few pieces missing to get them all crunching and hopefully also OC'd reasonably.
