My suggestion is that you're better off getting some good high performance RAM by OCZ, Corsair and the likes as at least it's a known quantity, and my experiences with Corsair's VS series are never good. In fact KVR's with Hynix's are a better bet (Yes they do have 1Gb sticks with D43's on it)

irenic sold his pair of GSkill's which used D43's (Forgot the which version but I think was BT, need him to confirm this) which could do 255Mhz at classic Hynix timings. So that's kinda good for me you know?

ic.. but just like u said i think high performance ram, which can do more than 250 with tighter timing is still a great choice..
so if u got extra budget mr squall better off with high performance ram.. biggrin.gif
diff brand/model, diff chips, diff characteristics.. make sure u google something for this thing b4 buying..

I use a pair of Corsair VS 512mb*2 on my venice [corsair chip]. Perfomance? Hmm...never reach above 220MHz on default 2.5-3-3-8 timing sweat.gif

But dunno what's their perfomance on loose timing..never try it before.

it is not just samsung chip..
look here..
diff chip diff characteristic.. make sure u understand them first..

afaik corsair,apacer,PQi(value series) was using Brain Power pcb..
i'll prefer to buy this brand if it were value ram..
and if u can find any good chip attached, it'll be a great bonus..
