During the
overclocking tests on the P5Q PRO, I quickly realized that my venerable OEM Micron PC2-5300 modules were no longer going to cut it. Achieving DDR2-1216 was great, but it really wasn't pushing these motherboards at all.
So it was time for an upgrade...Now I could just buy a PC2-9200 or PC2-9600 memory kit for under $100, and achieve some decent results, but there is zero fun in that!
Therefore, it was off to eBay (where I have bought all my memory kits during the last 4 years!) to find some diamonds in the rough.
And the pickings were good!
Just arrived this afternoon:
The Xtreem has Micron D9GMH chips.
The FireStix has Micron D9GKX chips.
The total for both kits was $80CDN shipped
Now it's time to test them out, I will keep you updated
