Hi,

I just bought a gig of Mushkin.

http://www.mushkin.com/epages/Mushki...ct/View/990927

I installed it. Ram timings are 2/2/2/7 is this good? Is this bh-5 stuff?

If not please explain difference.

ddr2..mm....what do the chips on it say?

[tommmmy]

I cant see because on heat sink covering the ram.

lift it cautiously

There is no ddr 2 with 2-2-2-7 timings. That link is jsut to mushkins homepage.

Mushkin has been out of BH-5 for a while. That has to be samsung TCCD (better in many canse than BH-5). The tRAS of 7 is also a give away, many TCCD sticks list high tRAS timings, BH-5 almost always is shown with a tRAS of 5 or 6.

I got 512MB PC2700 DDR 222 Black Hi Perf Level II- ON SALE!!! - $ 85.00


Whats the difference between TCCD and BH-5?

Is TCCD a good overclocker?

It's ok. Average OCer and average timings. I've got a 1 gig stick of it in my system (see my sig). Your stuff should do similar or slightly better.

It will generally run very high in some A64 setups. Good sticks i have seen do 290-300MHz. But of course you have your random drop-out chips that wont do more than 250. You just have to test it out. PQi and PDP make really awesome chips along with OCZ and a few other brands that use Brainpower PCB design.

It's unlikely to be either BH5 or TCCD, as those dimms are PC2700. It can be anything as a lot of PC3200 chips can run PC2700 at 2-2-2-x.
In the old days it should be BH6.
