PC2700 RAM timings in nforce2

[Bagheera786]

I am wondering whether there exists any PC2700 RAM that will be able to utilize the impressive timings listed in the AT nforce2 review, especially in the 8rda+. I am only planning (at the moment...) to overclock to 333 FSB, so good quality PC2700 should suffice, but I do want to be able to use those nice RAM timings that the nforce2 makes possible. Should I just bite the cost bullet and buy XMS3200, or does Corsair (or anyone else) make PC2700 RAM that could use those timings?

I bought this stick of ram from googlegear and I have it set at the strongest timings on my 8RDA+ mobo at 333mhz. (Same settings that he showed). Of course your stick has the possiblilty of not doing so. I'm sure the samsung chips with the CB3 markings should be able to without a problem. If you want to be sure then buy a stick that is rated at cas2, ect..

cool, thanks formulav8. So even though the RAM is listed @ 2.5, it has the possibility of running at cas2?

I wouldn't be surprised if you could get some Crucial PC2700 which can pull of those timings. Corsair is the path to choose for insured aggressive timings.
