i would just like to add fuel to zog's fire....
the dual channel pc3200 shoot out over at amdzone.com...ticked me off sooo much.

first off, why the hell is there a stick of pc2700 is there?!?! i know its a 'EL' stick of OCZ, but damn....they make pc3200 'EL' modules....

useless graphs, not enough different benchmarks (ha, some 'philosophy'...), no specified ram timings. it said 'agressive' timings were used, but how many know what the specific timings are on an epox 8rda+?

their cost analysis consisting of newegg...wtf....

using a prometeia and a multiplier of 13X and a 200mhz fsb would make that a 2.6ghz system with the ram in dual channel....pretty sweet setup, but only testing at one speed doesnt do too much besides show how this ram would perform in amd systems that are running that fast. some more speed grades would be nice.

i can feel for ya zog....nobody i know has the same depth of knowledge as i do about certain 'topics'. but there are about 3 that im half-assed teaching about overclocking and all. just wish i had somebody local to teach me about this stuff when i was learning about it...
