synapse1337 Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 The Platinum EB PC4000 3-3-2-8 2x1GB kit and the OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 Gold Edition [2x1GB] (UCCC) [3-4-4-8] kit. For someone who isnt super hardcore about timings, I'm thinking about just going with the Gold if that's the only difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
synapse1337 Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Just saw on extremesystems that Mushkin has a nice low latency chip out. Seems like that might please some people that have been waiting for the Platinum EB PC4000. http://www.mushkin.com/doc/products/memory_detail.asp?ID=273 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Yeah the only difference = the timings and overclocking ability. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior Legolas Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 I need some help first off I can only afford to get 1GB of ram when I order my system but I will be upgrading it to 2GB of RAM a couple mouths after the main order. I’m trying to decide between getting 1x1GB now and another later or 2x512MB now and another later. I need to know if there are any other down sides to using 4x512MB besides running it in 2T (which has no real world effects). Thanks for the help.

amped Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Am I correct in assuming that this RAM should work? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820231035 It's not on the list, but it's similar to those on it. PC3200, 2-2-2-5, TCCD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
synapse1337 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Yeah the only difference = the timings and overclocking ability. Alright, thanks man. I'm just gonna stick to buying the Gold version then. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 amped: yes. Warrior Legolas: 4x512MB will be 2T. I would stay with 2xsomething, what memory are you looking at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrsky Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Hello. Thank you for well written memory tutorial. I did read it through but there are couple of questions still left. I already have TwinMOS PC3200 1GB Dual-Channel Kit (2 x 512MB, double sided, Winbond CH-5 chips) and if possible would like to use it in my next system built on Lanparty nF4 Ultra-D (the rest of planned hardware choices can be found in sig). I noticed that only BH-5 memory is listed in "Nf4 Verified Memory Support List" (that Angry-Games critical info thread). I guess those are only the few tested recommendations and so CH-5 might work as well as first post in this thread suggests. Or are there any known issues with this particular TwinMOS memory and Lanparty nF4 Ultra-D mainboard? Bought that 1GB kit in summer 2004 for my Barton 3000+ (200FSB version) if this information matters. I guess they did not manufacture UTT (that stands for untested, right?) back then and so the quality could be generally pretty good. Mainly I will run my system on defaul clock speed or do some minor overclocking. After reading this Memory tutorial I know that CH-5 isn't best for that purpose, but don't have extra money right now to buy another better 1GB kit. For now I would be happy even for stable 200MHz 2.5-3-3-8 @ 2.6V memory confiquration. Is that doable? Thank you in advance and sorry for any and all grammar mistakes in my text. English unfortunately isn't my first or even second language. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warrior Legolas Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Well I want some TCCD sticks and from what I can tell there aren't any TCCD 1GB sticks so I was thinking about about these 2x512MB TCCD based G.SKILL sticks. They should work there not on your list however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 After a few weeks of waiting for the OCZ 2GB Platinum EB's to be in stock, I gave up. Anyone know if the 2GB Redline series from Mushkin are good for DFI? How does it fair against the 2GB OCZ EBs? http://www.mushkin.com/doc/products/memory_detail.asp?ID=273 This ram seems to have the same timings and speed as the platinum EB's at stock settings. Does it overclock just as well? I plan to overclock my system to 260-280. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mingyeung Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 How can you tell what chips are on what memory modules? Cause the heat spreader is on the chips, how are we certain a perticular module has the "supposed" chips? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid1 Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 How can you tell what chips are on what memory modules? Cause the heat spreader is on the chips, how are we certain a perticular module has the "supposed" chips? There was a lot of speculation about this on several forums and the conclusion was that both are Infineon CE-6 (as is the G.Skill ZX, but lower binned).
