"Seems the GeIL Value Dual Channel PC3200 did a fine job with keeping up with its big 慞latinum?brother and even did better in some situations. This is most likely due to the difference in timings. Speaking of timings, unfortunately when going with the Value RAM, you pretty much rule out CAS 2.0 timing. I just couldn抰 get the blue boys to run at CAS 2.0. I抦 sure you could if you underclocked the RAM and your motherboard front side bus down to 133MHz (266MHz DDR), but that defeats the purpose of getting PC3200 altogether."
