    Has anyone tried the recently released 667MHz DDR2 Low-Latency CL4 (4-4-4-12) SO-DIMMs from the Kingston HyperX range?

    Looks interesting as they should run at CL4 without having to use memset. I read another post on here though that said running at CL4 was possibly causing BSODs but it wasn't confirmed that memory timings were the cause.

    A few weeks ago I bought http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231153 which has the exact same timings. I just dropped 2 sticks in, haven't messed with any programs to verify or change the timings, but I have noticed absolutely no performance changes. As far as BSOD, I don't think my computer has crashed once since I changed it, so maybe they just had a bad stick or didn't seat it right.

    Hi.

    Memory speed makes very little difference, just buy the cheapest 667Mhz with a lifetime warranty.

    Regards

    John.

    It used to make quite a lot of difference in my overclocking days - that was AMD and nForce chipsets though. I can pick up a 4GB kit of this stuff for about £55 which is probably about £5 more expensive than the cheapest I can find so I wont be losing much.
