Mushkin is sold by bestbuy? Never knew that. Mushkin has an excellent reputation. I use only Mushkin memory for my PC's.

Best Buy does carry Mushkin, however, I am not sure if it is just online or if they have it in their stores.

One thing to note... they do not carry the higher end. They currently only go to PC3200.

Cheers,

I will be happy to change out my current ram and see if I can hit 3.06 ghz stable with my ageing granitbay

I may wanna buy the p4p800 and use the Mushkin on it what do you think.

Bestbuy only sell's Mushkin memory online. Looks like the LV1 ram only.

My first post.

I bought the PC3200 Mushkin's from Bestbuy about 3 months ago for $104.99/512MB stick.

From Mushkin's forums, their mods said that these sticks they sold to BestBuy are PC3200 RAM they put out before they started to designate them as Level 1 or Level 2.

The Bestbuy PC3200 are either CH-5 or BH-5. The sticks I bought will run at 225mhz@2-2-2-5 with 2.85V, so I'm assume they're BH-5.

I just saw their prices, they're almost $150...for that much, I'd suggest getting the Mushkin PC3500 Level 2 OEM's for ~$145 at Newegg, which are guaranteed to be BH-5's. You still get Mushkin's awesome customer service and lifetime warranty for OEM sticks.
