Extreme fsb, recommended RAM 8K3A?

Since 8K3A seems capable of really high bus it would be good to know wich RAM to choose to get the max out of the board.

Tested 2 different sticks so far:
256 Micron PC2100 ~175 fsb MAX timings 3.2v DDR
256 Mb OCZ PC3000 200 fsb 2.0-3-6-3 2T Command 2.9v DDR

Waiting home 2 sticks of Samsung´s PC2700 that I heard some have had great success with.
Seen reports talking about 200 fsb MAX timings

Anyone got any recommendations?

Ive also heard good things about samsung.

It all seems a bit random to me.

Some people get great results with one brand somebody else says the same sticks stink.

Running a high FSB isnt just about the memory its about timings and other components (PSU especially)

I have tried two sticks of Samsung pc2700, one reached 177MHz in turbo and another will do about 185MHz in turbo. I have a stick of the new Micron pc2700 on the way. I hope this new pc2700 goes above and beyond as much as the pc2100 will.

Winbond pure PC2700 seems to be the best choice, however you have to be careful when buying it, some is PC2700 and some PC2100 that is good for the speed.

Above a certain FSB the TRas timings of the PC2100 modules have to be decreased, the timings of the PC2700 don't - ensure that the modules are pure PC2700 as defined here
