I am currently looking for some new ram for my rig but having dismal success looking for ram to run as high of speed as I'd like.

Current rig in sig
939 x2 3800 @ 2.7 1.41v
A8N-SLi Deluxe
Premium Bios

My current ram can only run up to 238mhz @ 3-4-4-8 2.6v 1T on a divider. 2T/1T only gains an extra 8 mhz. I am currently running it on a divider to place my ram at 225.

I'd really like to replace this with a same size kit of 2x1gb dual channel sticks that will run up wards of 260+. I'm looking to run my X2 1:1 with my ram. Running with dividers I can get my PC well into 2.8ghz and with larger dividers I can post up to 2.95ghz at 1.475v but fail to boot OS with Memory error BSOD's (or pass memtest for that matter).

I realize the speeds I am shooting for on DDR 1 are somewhat steep but had I bought some better pc4000 in the first place I wouldn't be in this predicament.

Thank you in advance for any help.
 
Anything running Samsung UCCC will do up to around 270MHz at 3-4-4-8, usually 1T. Or look at Infineon, 250MHz at 3-3-2/3-'ish.
 
I had a nice G-Skill HZ-4000 kit (2 gigs) which did 3-4-4-8 1T @ 270MHz, all on a measly 2.6v. Might have gone higher, but my X2 wasn't 100% stable at 270x10 and I ended up running 260x10. Pretty inexpensive too.
