150% of its retail speed is **weak**!?!Originally posted by chosenfool
my 1.6A is the one thats weak - somehow even with a DDR RAM module capable of high speeds, its doesnt want to go past 2.42GHz.
I'm glad to hear your system is the raging beast that it is. The memory is my system is my bottleneck, as I went the cheap route and bought PC2100. When memory prices drop (I think Christmas) I'll pickup some PC3200/3400.

Good going Chosen... and if you have no more need of your "weak" components, you can just send them my way!
It is not enough to merely touch the face of god; you also must open your eyes so that you may see your palm.
How come PC2700 is cheaper than PC2100??? I guess the memory is phasing out so it gets more expensive.

take a look at the price for a 1.33 200fsb athlon vs. the newer athlon XP's, it really never went down even though at this point its ancient.
..or the Pentium III 800E's. I bought one *two years ago* for $200, and it's still 115 at pricewatch. (Good overclocker).

I picked up 2 sticks of 512MB Corsair PC2700 (CMX...the fast stuff, not the "value" line) from a place I found in PriceWatch for $130 each shipped. Shipping was a little slow (9 days) but it was worth the wait. Speedy and stable. Yeah!
