If you had to pick one of these two 2 GB kits, which one would you get?
Mushkin Redline XP4000 Redline [3-3-2-8]
G.Skill F1-3200PHU2-2GBZX [2-3-2-5]
Both kits use Brainpower PCB and Infineon CE-6 chips. There is a price difference of $30 between them. Money is not the issue, performance and compatibility with DFI Expert is.
I'm using the Mushkin Redline and they work great in my Expert. I'm running them @ 275 3-3-2-6 with 2.9v. They are very stable and may go higher, I just haven't had the time to play with them to much.
I did find out that you are correct, that the G.Skill is Infineon CE-5/6. However, it is not on the list of IC chips in the post you made. Would you mind adding it on?
In regards to the poster, I would say its a crapshoot, although the Mushkins are probably binned higher and may OC better. The Redlines will also run DDR500 no problem, where as the G.skill you will have to OC to get that.
I'm looking at a pair of G.Skill HZ too... but only if they are the old style UCCC. Otherwise they will top at 227Mhz on 1:1, they go up to 280Mhz on a divider, which I do not want to do.
