Corsair 256MB PC-150 Cas2... Is this crap ???

[DoctorFoxx]

Does anyone actually have this RAM & is it any good for OC'ing ?

I don't have any, but I've heard it referred to as the best for OCing.

I have that stick! It's awesome I was able to hit 157MHz FSB and CAS2 on my BE6-II and I think it was my AGP holding me back (only 2/3 divider and like 110MHz AGP bus). Haven't tried for how high I can take my K7T Turbo, but that should let me go higher, 1/2 AGP divider. This stuff is fast! I would say this is the best and fastest memory solution you can get without spending the extra price premium. I got mine for $25 shipped on eBay a few months ago.

My personal opinion is that it is crappy I could only hit 148MHz cas2 or cas3. It would not go higher and it was supposed to be rated at cas2 150MHz.

[DoctorFoxx]

I see. Yeah if MUSHKIN was rated cas2 @ 150 MHz I can trust it to do so.

If I bought this CORSAIR and it wouldnt hit it's rating I'd be dissapointed. Actually...I usually expect MUSHKIN to exceed it's rating.

...Anyways...alot of people have told me this is good ram, guess all I can do is try it.

Yeah sure I think it has a 50% success ratio about!

That bad eh?

Here's the deal:

My friend is BORROWING my MUSHY Rev.2 which I want back. Since he wont buck up for some MUSH, I need to get him some RAM that we can both live with so he'll stop pestering me and I get my MUSH back !

So that's why I was heavily considering it, it's not for me and I think he's only at 143 MHz FSB anyways...

If you are only at 143fsb then might as well get some crucial cas2 ram. I know the cas3 stuff I had would do like 140fsb cas2 and this cas2 stuff should do better I would think. I could hit 167MHz cas3 with the micron PC133 cas3 ram. The corsair ram is expensive and was way overpriced for its performence.

I consider Micron Cas3 Pc-133 low-end crap and can't figure out for the life of me how you can get 167MHz out of it.

Why not Kingmax PC150? That stuff will often do CAS2 at 150 also.

I've currently got two sticks of Infineon-chip PC133 CAS2 which are both doing 150 CAS2. It's top stuff.

Yeah you would wouldn't ya. You can beleive it or not I don't give a shi#. I had two sticks of this stuff and they both did 140fsb cas2 and 167fsb cas3. Buy the Corsair. Some do well and some don't. You a gambling man
