How is this OCZ PC4200 set?

your only gonna get 2.5-3-3-6 from that...but thats still good.....OCZ dosen't make a 2-2-2-5. Only the Gold and Platinum EL series will do 2-3-3-5. I have OCZ Premium PC3700 and it runs great at 2.5-3-3-6 @400mhz 1:1 with my 2800+ Barton
 
yeah...it says it is....but put it in a board and run it oc'd and see what ya get!

Not knocking OCZ...its bad ass....but I found on my 3700, dropping the timings gave me lower benchies. but that could just be my K7N2 Delta not liking the timings.

understand that those timings are for that speed only....anything higher and you have to relax them abit to get a stable OC

And maybe I should have been more clear in my other post....they don't make that speed at those timings...thats a link to PC3200....he was asking about PC4200....my bad....
 
So then what would be "better"?

Athlon 64 2800+ @ 2.4 GHz with 266 FSB 1:1 ratio 3-4-4-8
Athlon 64 2800+ @ 1.8 GHz with 200 FSB 1:1 ratio 2-2-2-5
 
timings dont matter a whole lot on an A64, the controller is on the goddam CPU, you can have 6-3-3-3 and still have perfect performance. the 5-2-2-2- chips would probably overclock higher than PC4000-4200 chips

See, I've heard the opposite, that timings are much more important on an A64 than an Intel. I guess this is very debateable then.

Either way this would murder my P4 2.4B with 512MB of PC800.

That's what Anandtech got with an early set.

I am running at 283 FSB, 1:1 divider at 2.5,3,3,10, at 2.8V, so this memory is pretty badass. And I ran at 205 FSB at 2-2-2-10, but never checked 2-2-2-5 since all the review sites claimed 2-2-2-10 got better results. If you care, I will check the upper limit of 2-2-2-5 timing (for 1 loop of memtest, I'm not going to run 4 hour memtest runs for you).
