Just curious if anyone else out there that has ValueSelect has tried to push the timings.
From what I've read it's really a crap shoot who gets what. STD is 5-5-5-15 for 667mhz, but I've got mine running MemTest 1.7 stable @ 4-4-4-12. $70 for a gig of it when I bought it, and it's cheaper now. Wondering how much further I can push it... haven't tried OCing it, as my ASRock board doesn't support that.

Anyone else?

iv got a magazine i buy here in the uk called custom pc, and they did a big ass review on DDR2 ram from every brand, and according to that the highest they could push the corsair 667 VS was to 740mhz with 6-6-6-15 and 2.2v, they also mentioned that the timings doesn't really affect DDR2 ram as much as it did with DDR1 due to the different way DDR2 operates.
