Ampere3 Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 I heard that a new version of the BIOS has a 5:4 memory divider. What BIOS is that? Could I use that to run the PC4000 memory at 244MHz while keeping the FSB at 200MHz and not OCing the CPU? Would this make the PC4000 better than the PC3200 with lower timings?

Burts Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Can the N4 boards run Mushkin 991145 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820146299 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted February 14, 2006 Posted February 14, 2006 Ampere3 Running the memory higher than the CPU FSB/HTT frequency is pointless and would be slower than PC3200 with low timings. Burts These modules may work but as with all Value ram it does depend in the chips. So they are not recommended for the DFI nF4 LP boards. Any idea what chips are on them?

Kaiser_SOse Posted February 15, 2006 Posted February 15, 2006 Whats the absolute highest you think the Gskill ZX will hit and at what ever that limit is, do you think it will have better timings as the HZ would have at that speed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharp Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 The limit in the ZX would be around 260Mhz, good infineon CE-6 chips can go higher, ~280Mhz+ with 3-3-2-7 timings but that would be rare. At the same speed, the ZX kit would have better timings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharp Posted February 19, 2006 Posted February 19, 2006 It is good and OCZ's standards are very high but the Gskill kit is also very good and cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstroCreep Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 It is good and OCZ's standards are very high but the Gskill kit is also very good and cheaper. I was actually curious about these sticks myself and the ones by GigaRAM (Mach1000-series). See, my current system is running really well with my BH5, but it's time to go with a 2GB set, so I regrettably am going to have to part with my beloved BH5 *sniff*. So what are you guys liking these days? My OC is at 265MHz FSB x 10 multi (RAM on a divider). I was going to go with a 2GB PC4000 set, either the OCZ Gold or Gold GX...maybe now the G.Skill set since they have been recommended here. Any of them better than the rest or is the OC-ability on all of these guys about the same? What have you guys been getting luck with? Thanks! p.s. GREAT article, Sharp!
