256MB PC3200 232 - Level One Black DDR~Weekend Special reg $78 - $ 68.00

Because thats the only thing listed on Mushkin's website thats new and has the name special.

Its also the same price is it is on newegg.

So it looks like LVL 1 CH-5 RAM thats on sale.

The New High Performance LVL 2 is supposed to use BH-6. I believe the LVL 1 will continue to use CH-5.
 
From Mushkin's site (link):

A: The Black High Performance level II used the Winbond BH5 chips, which are no longer in production. This new 222 special build uses Winbond BH6. They perform just as well as the BH5 at 3200 speed, but may not be as overclockable in your system

Were the BH-5's just a fluke that just happened to turn out to be so good?? I dont know why Winbond cant just make some more BH5's. :rolleyes:

I believe its because their fabrication is overly expensive and very few people that buy RAM are even smart enough to know the difference in chips. So it didn't matter if they had BH-5 or the cheaper CH-5 cause people buy it and the majority of pc users are pretty dumb lol.

They definately weren't a fluke though. They are 5ns chips which is able to run 200Mhz but the BH chips are able to run 2-2-2. BH-6 will run 2-2-2 but they are only 166Mhz chips so they wont overclock nearly as well. I wish they would use some BH-4 chips cause those would freaking rock :). I think TwinMos or one of those other RAM manufacters has come sticks with BH-4 chips on them or at least they did. If they could just get some of those chips on the worlds greatest PCB's from Mushkin that would be some totally rock'n RAM.
