9800np or 9800se to hit xt speeds?

[CleanSlate]

Well I figured I'd ask because this seems to be the major question for me now

What ns ram does the 9800np/9800se have? If I can find a model with 2.5ns ram I should be able to hit xt speeds if the core allows it (which it should) right?

I have a PRO with 2.8ns memory running at 400MHz with OCZ RAM Sinks. My last board had 2.8ns memory and would only run up to ~360MHz (no RAM sinks). So realistically, you only need 2.8ns memory to hit the XT speeds, but it's also somewhat luck of the draw.

No board other than the XT itself will have 2.5ns memory.

My 9800NP has craptacular 3.3ns chips

My 9800NP has the 2.8ns Samsung chips.

BIOS flashed to a 9800 Pro with no problems, and overclocks to just under XT speeds.

be sure to softmod the card tho.

I bought a 9800se but I didnt get it from the egg which may or may not be a mistake. However I saved $24 bucks and got the card for only $120.74 shipped I posted about it in the hotdeals forum but here's the link anyhow:
