squire Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 Hi, I need some Advice on what memory I should buy. I want low timings like 2-2-2-X @250Mhz (2x1024mb) to run at 1T settings. My FSB seems to be capped at 255. This memory seems to be perfect for me: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820227210 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltes-5 Posted November 19, 2005 Posted November 19, 2005 I went ahead and got the 2048ELGE-K instead, I'm pretty sure I will love it. If everything goes right with my current rig I might upgrade to 4GB. Thanks Sharp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
synapse1337 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Hey. My current RAM has just been having issues off and on. I'm lookin to get 2x1GB because I'm a big gamer/video editor and a few other things. Only thing is my oc was at 2.86 stable until the ram randomly got upset. Essentially I want to run the ram close to sync if possible. I posted a couple 2x512 as I wasnt sure how much the performace difference would be, I'm clueless about TCCD and new memory modules. Most importantly though I want RAM that I know will work with my setup. I've been a pretty big supporter of Corsair but with all the issues people are having I've decided I need to check out some other options. My top three, in no specific order are: - Mushkin eXtreme Performance XP4400 [2x512MB] (TCCD) [2.5-4-4-8] Part number: 991400 http://www.mushkin.com/doc/products...tail.asp?ID=162 - OCZ EL DDR PC-4800 Platinum Elite Edition [2x512MB] (TCCD) [2.5-4-4-10] [2-2-2-5] Part number: OCZ6001024EEPE-K http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820227217 - OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 Gold Edition [2x1GB] (UCCC) [3-4-4-8] Part number: OCZ5002048ELGE-K http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820227219 Im open to RAM not on the list. But if im correct, for my usage, TCCD is the best. I'd prefer to keep it close to the $200 range but I can stretch it a little if there's more bang for my buck. Thanks in advance!

Sharp Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Hello, This is probably the best TCCD 2x512MB kit around. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820144341 If you want 2x1GB, The OCZ GOLD kit you linked to are ok. OCZ also have a Platinum EB PC4000 3-3-2-8 2x1GB kit, it is a very good kit but out of stock in all the shops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
s10man69 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 I'm running the RAM Sharp has posted, I don't have anything OC'ed yet, as I don't know how yet, but at DDR400, I've got my RAM runnin at 1.5-2-2-5 and haven't had any problems whatsoever!! GEIL makes 2 versions of this RAM, one is TCCD and the other is BH5, make sure you get the one that you want. I got mine off of newegg as that's the cheapest I could find it at...

synapse1337 Posted November 20, 2005 Posted November 20, 2005 Thanks for the response Sharp. I've been thinkin that with the OC people are getting on Crucial Ballistix 2x1GB kit and given my fsb, I should be able to get close to 1:1. Would that be a good idea or bad? People are having good success with Ballistix, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid1 Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 Hello, This is probably the best TCCD 2x512MB kit around. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820144341 I have Geil One TCCD (the 2x256 single-sided kit) and it is awesome. Everybody who looks for high-end TCCD won't have to look further. Zipzoomfly has it cheaper, though. I recently bought Geil One BH and first results look very good, too.

pejantan Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 i'm going to overclock....so which ic the best for me between: 1. OCZ Platinum 512MB (don't know the version) 2. Micron -5B G 2x256 3. or twinmos Speed Premium 2x256 PC 3500 1A4T Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 Thanks for the response Sharp. I've been thinkin that with the OC people are getting on Crucial Ballistix 2x1GB kit and given my fsb, I should be able to get close to 1:1. Would that be a good idea or bad? People are having good success with Ballistix, right? Lots of people have had very good results with the BallistiX range but there are a few that cannot say this. I think we need a poll to see the actual amount of people that had a bad set of Crucial BallistiX memory modules. I would not be put of by this but if you want total peace of mind, get one of the OCZ kits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
synapse1337 Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 Well, Im thinkin about going for the OCZ memory as I just dont want unnecessary problems. Question though is, Can someone explain exactly what UCCC is, I know it's a samsung chip but is it based off TCCD? What OC can I get out of 2x1GB of OCZ?

synapse1337 Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Hey Sharp, one more question. Im into ocing but at the same time I dont notice timings as much as some of the people here. That's the only difference with the platinum and the gold, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Which Gold and Platinum are you referring to? The ones in your above post or the 2x1GB platinum kit and 2x1GB GOLD kit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
