Buffalo Technology 256MB 6 Layer PC3200 DDR Memory Module CL 2.5 32X8 (Winbond Module) - OEM

Saw a nice deal on 2 256mb sticks was just wondering if anyone has heard of the performance of this memory?

If its the same Buffalo company that makes cheap tools, Air tools, etc stay away from it their tools are cheap I found out the hard way trying to save a buck. But if its not it could be good memory.

Hello Scrunter1,

can you look on the chips, what is written there ?
If it is BH5 or CH5 than the chips are very good, the BH5 are the same like Winbond and Corsair (0,15u Version) and the CH5 are newer but they should be also very good. (0,13u Version)
