Overclocking
With all three kits set to 5-5-5-18 timings and a voltage of 2.35v, I set out to find their maximum stable overclock. After a little tweaking and several hours of ORTHOS and 32m SuperPI stability testing, the following results were acheived:
No doubt it was going to be pretty hard for the CellShock PC2-9200 to beat the monsterous 660mhz overclock obtained by the OCZ FlexXLC in a recent review. However, the CellShock still managed to give the higher stock-clocked PC2-9600 Kingston modules a run for their money, beating them by a reasonable 10mhz to sit comfortably in the middle of the leaderboard with a top overclock of 620mhz (DDR-1240).
Reducing the speed of the CellShock to DDR2-800 allowed the memory timings to be tightened all the way down to a very impressive 3-3-3-6. This brings the CellShock PC2-9200 kit directly in line with the other kits tested from Kingston and OCZ.

Those sticks did well there Jimbo, nice review too.
Personally, I'd buy 4gb of the cellshock 6400 stuff over this.You get 4gb of 6400 for almost the same price of 2gb of this 9200 ram. The 6400 sticks OC to near 9200 speeds...
Still nice sticks mind
