custom_coms Posted October 17, 2005 Posted October 17, 2005 Its buy time (in a week anyway). I'm done with a single 512mb stick. Bing on dual channel! Anyway, my orginal budget was $100, but realizing true performance isn't available at that price (no more value vx at that price anyway), I have upped it to more like $125. I am considering these two sets right now (want 2x512mb DDR400): OCZ Gold C2 (TCC5?): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820227220 Geil Ultra X (according to the part number they are, Winbond BH-5?): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820144332 I believe the Geil's are the ones in this review:http://www.insanetek.com/review.php?id=34&page=1 The only review I know of of Gold C2 is a user review right here: http://i4memory.com/showthread.php?t=1131 Thanks, Sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom_coms Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Yes, I checked out that thread previously. It lists the Geil as BH-5 or TCCD, and being the new stuff, I assume its BH-5 (since TCCD has been replaced with TCC5). Their is no info on Gold C2. Only Gold. So, which is better? I have had good experience in both mine and by best friends build with both Geil and OCZ, so that doesn't help answer my question.

custom_coms Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Which? Gold? Gold C2? Sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted October 18, 2005 Posted October 18, 2005 Hello, At 200Mhz, 2-2-2-5 would be better. When overclocking what would you like? 250Mhz @2-2-2-5 @3.4v-3.5v and you can use a divder to OC the CPU more. Or something that is better with 1:1 FSB:dram rato?

The 3200 Gold C2 ha the same chips and runs 2-3-2 timings. If you want the best performance atlower voltages, go for the Gold.

custom_coms Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 Ok, thats what I wanted to hear. In theory, if I up the volts, C2 will do the same thing as gold, but with more needed volts to do the same thing, right? Gold is a little out of my price range, but C2 I can afford!

custom_coms Posted October 19, 2005 Posted October 19, 2005 My processor is limited to 2.3ghz (as best I can tell, @1.65v, 260x9). Therefore, IF I can get BH-5 to work, that looks like the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
