Bit of a quandry...

I just ordered more memory for my laptop, and realized that my desktop will need more memory this summer (2GB->4GB). I have G.Skill F1-4000USU2-2GBHZ (2GB, DDR500, 3-4-4-8), but cannot seem to locate this kit anywhere! What kits are comparable to it and would run fine with it in a 3-4-4-8, DDR432 configuration? I have the odd multiplier because while my processor can do 2.6GHz, the RAM cannot do 260MHz without crashing games and apps (as well as failing memtest). Therefore, I am looking for either a DDR433 (PC3500) or DDR500 (PC4000) kit with a capacity of 2GB in 2x1GB sticks that would play nice at the settings needed to make the G.Skill kit work.

Ive checked newegg, zip zoom fly and Muskins sites, but I can't any PC4000 ram.......that's based on the same chips you have (Samsung UCCC)

I don't know many US retailers, but if you can get any DDR1 PC4000 that has 3-4-4-* or some 3-4-3-* that requires ~2.6v - 2.8v then it will be UCCC based ram.

Here's a few links to an Irish company that ships worldwide, this ram will work with your G.Skill (same UCCC chips)

Thanks, now I know what to look for, but I'm not paying those prices if I can avoid it.
