Alright, I had 768MB RAM installed. 2*256MB Hynix D43 (dunno whether they were fake or not) and 1*256MB Kingston ValueRAM. All sticks DDR400, the Kingston was Mosel Vitalic, IIRC. All the RAM is out of warranty now. 1 stick of teh Hynix and the Kingston are failing Memtest (woo.. got my dad to do the test long distance!), and they were apparently causing sysfailures as well, I had 2 WinXP installs go kaput on me.
I have to get 1GB more RAM, so Transcend seem like a good choice. Do they overclock well? I'd like to hit 220-225Mhz on my system, once I get PSU issues sorted out as well. They are being quoted at 2.5K per 512MB stick, so I'd like to pick up 2 of these.
I'd like to hit 220-225Mhz, board + CPU combo is an Asus A7N8X-X with an unlocked 2400+. I get upto 2.9V VDIMM on this board, do the Transcends OC better with more VDIMM?
I'm not going in for Kingston or Hynix if I can help it, as I'm not going to be in Mumbai when the RAM is to be purchased (next 2-3 days), and I don't think my dad or the idiot dealer can make out fake Hynix..
Also, has anyone tried the DDR466/DDR500 Transcend chips? Any good?
