What RAM should I get?

I have the Abit NF7 board with an unlocked AMD 2600 Barton. What RAM do you
recommend for this combination for best over clocking?

Hi,
well at the very least some good/tight PC3200. I think the NF7 can go to
220MHz-FSB quite easy, and I read about some people running theirs at
250MHz-FSB. So some PC3500 would cover you, or maybe some PC3700. I found
the performance to be really good while at just 200MHz-FSB (DDR400), with a
modest 2-3-3-6.

It's a bit hard when you upgrade all at once because you don't know the
*sweet-spot* of all your different pieces, like if your mobo is gonna be
able to run stable when higher than 230MHz FSB?.

I think some people even are using PC4000 on their nForce2's.

PC4400 or the fastest you can find/afford.

Wanna share Wes ?, All three are [ SPD ] optimized ( timing ) for
Intel.

Your thoughts on this matter M8

N.B. Posting whilst pissed is very very risky !, only OCZ, & Geil do
it for Intel chipset's at CAS3 so far as I'm aware.

Anything with Winbond BH-5 chips. Its discontinued now, but you can still
find it on ebay. Winbond BH-5 is the only memory that will let you run
tight timings (e.g. 11-2-2 cas 2) at high fsb's - 230MHz and over. Nothing
else will do it.

Chip.
