Ram decision for Abit IP35 Ballistix or Mushkin

[egartin]

I am going to buy some new ram for my mobo.

Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) $70.99 AR

or

mushkin 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2-800 CL 4-5-4-11 EPP Ready Dual Channel Kit Retail 996533 $59.99 AR

Both sets seem to use the D9 chips.
Any experience with these?

Thanks,

Eric

Get this instead : mushkin 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2-800 CL 4-4-4-12 EPP Ready Dual Channel Kit Retail 996576

It's similar to the other mushkin, same price but it's a brand new revision out yesterday as confirmed by Greg from Mushkin. I bought the same one and the difference is better timing (4-4-4-12 instead of 4-5-4-11).

Thanks ordered it. Do you think they have the D9 chips?

I asked Greg and he refused to answer since it's company policy to not tell what chips However, I hope it's a D9 set just by the specifications.

Does it matter that this is 2.2V. I read somewhere that the IP35 like 1.8V?

Thanks,

No, 1.8v is just the default base voltage. You can change the voltage to 2.1v (2.2v will void the warranty).
