    Corsair Vs Mushkin

    Ok guys, i've basically got two sets of ram here and wondered which set is best?

    Set 1
    Mushkin 991429
    2 x 1GB Modules
    PC3200
    CAS 2-3-2-6
    Volt: 2.6-2.8V
    Pins: 184
    Module: 128Mx64
    Chip: 64Mx8

    Set 2
    Corsair XMS3200 CMX1024-3200C2PT
    2 x 1GB Modules
    PC3200
    CAS 2-3-3-6
    Volt: 2.75
    Pins: 184
    Module: 128Mx64
    Chip: 64Mx8

    The difference in timing is absolutely unnoticable if run @ SPD. But Mushkin has long been one of the best overclockers so I'll go with them

    you cant say anything without knowing the actual chips in them, they could be downgraded to make up numbers or they could be at their limit at that SPD

    mushkin seems to use lots of winbond chips so they are probably the new 1gb BH5 dimms (those are about the best timings around on 1gb sticks) but corsair uses chips from everywhere... you can find out at houseofhelp.com, go to the corsair forums and "enthusiasts only" and you can post your serial numbers and find out
