which RAM can handle the highers FSBs at CAS 2 ?

[Bricolo]

but please tell me the max frequencies you reached with your ram.
NOS440>You're right, the crucial 7E has never been compared to other brands

actually, 7E(the chips, not on crucial PCB, but Corsair PCB) has been tested.

http://www.bxboards.com had a ram roundup from a few weeks ago... A notable omission was Mosel Vitalic Rev.2

Their PC133 Mosel Vitalic CAS2 stuff has reviewed extremely well in comparisons to the Mushkin High Perfomance Rev. 2. I have one 128MB stick of it, and luckily I bought it a couple of months ago for $149 before prices went up. I haven't run it over 133 MHz yet, but reviews have had it in the low 150's at CAS2 and 160 at CAS3.

[edit]Here's a link to the review that convinced me to buy from Memman!

[edit]Here's overclockin.com's summarized chart of all the RAM they've tested, with maximum CAS2 and CAS3 speeds:

The MemMan Mosel Chips nad hte Mushkin Mosel Chips are technically the same(not sure if Mushkin uses their "own" pcb or really hand picks their chips).

My preference for ram goes as this

Crucial 7e(cas2, pc133.. I have it at 152FSB Cas2)
Mushkin Mosel Rev2.(i'd pay the slight premium over MemMan for the extra support)
MemMan Mosel Rev2.


its a shame that ram is sooo damn expensive right now.

ok, thanks, I think I'll buy 2 128Mb crucial 7E

If you want to save a little $$, you might consider Mushkin's Mossel rev 1.5. for $166.00 Don't know the difference between the 1.0 rev but according to Anands review, rev. 2.0 only allowed booting but not running Windows at CAS2 148MHz The rev 1.0 modules ran fine CAS2 at 146MHz.
I tried to order some Micron 7E memory yesterday directly from a sales rep, he says it will backorder untill mid Aug, the Mushkin rev. 1.5 is only slightly more than the Micron shipped and Mushkin ships very quickly.

The price has shot out of this world in the last few day's anyway's from 140 to 188 in 3 day's so if I was looking I'd be waiting. LOL!!!!!! I paid 109. each for the 7E 128 megs about 3 month's ago. Sure glad I had the extra cash when the prices dropped.

Ok, but I live in France, and Crucial's shipping costs 15, mushkin's comsts 36...
