Sage2050 Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Of course between PQI3200-1024DBH(timing 2.5-3-3-7) & PQI3200-1024DBL( timing 2-3-2-5) the PQI3200-1024DBL is better because of its low timing. But from PQI the best 1GB PC3200 Dual Channel Module that you can get is:PQI3200-1024DBU (timing 2-2-2-5) Also take a look at this link: http://www.pqimemory.com/turbo_double.asp it doesnt look like they are selling that anymore. at least i can't find it at any of the links they provide.

Sage2050 Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Check this for PQI3200-1024DBU:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...0743&CatId=1833 ouch, thats really steep for only slightly faster timings, especially when i can get 2-3-2-5 for under $100.

The PQI3200-1024DBU is really expensive. But at the price of PQI 3200-1024DBL you can get Crucial BallistiX with timing 2-2-2-6 which works really good at a great price. In any way,it's your money & you should decide how to spend it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
caebron Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Aaaargh! Each time I make up my mind about what RAM to buy I get second thoughs the next day. My max FSB with a 11x multi is 240. So would it be be better to get PC4000 in the hopes of being able to lower the latencies, or to get PC3200 with low latencies in the hopes of a good OC? Do you happen to know what chips these are, Sharp? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820231034 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoKnowsHimself Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Hello, Yes my SPD info is 2-2-2-8. I have never seen a BallistiX module with Micron 5B-G chips that is 512MB and 8 chips. Can I see? (take a pic of the top/sides) You missed out the D in your first post, BL6464Z402.8TD Hello Sharp The pictures are here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6MHTJ0IF What's your idea?

Sharp Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Caebron, That is one thing I dont know Maybe Infineon based. Pic not working for me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoKnowsHimself Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Pic not working for me? Hello Sharp Pic not working. work what?:mad: OK. can you look at your ballistiX & tell me are they single side or double side? My modules are single side. How's yours? To my knowledge single side modules are colder than double sides but they need more processing power from CPU to be refreshed each time. Am I right? Thank You Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted January 17, 2006 Posted January 17, 2006 Mine are double sided, here is a pic. Can you see the 4 chips, 2 on top then the PCB in the middle then 2 chips under. [-----] [-----] =========== [-----] [-----] Double sided modules should put more strain on the memory controller and take more power (watts/get hotter).

DublinGunner Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Caebron , They look like they could be a number of chips. Either Samsung TCB3, Mosel Vitalic or Winbond Ch-5. Correct em if I'm wrong guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man from Uncle Posted January 18, 2006 Posted January 18, 2006 Hi Sharp, You gave me some advice a couple of months ago and i thought i'd come back for more. It was my understanding that generally speaking Corsair was not recommended for DFI boards due to vague but apparent compatability problems. Is this still generally considered to be the case, or is corsair back on the menu? Many thanks EDIT: Just realised that i haven't changed my signature since you helped me last year.
