Hi all.
My very first post on these forums is a question about Corsair RIMMS.
I've been waiting for an age for the release of the Asus P4T533 bundled with 256MB Samsung PC4200 to run a 2.26B. Release date is imminent. The disappointing news is that this board will now be supplied with 256Mb Samsung PC3200 instead because PC4200 doesn't look as though it's going into mass production until September although a date has yet to be officialy announced by Samsung. The same applies to 16bit 1066 Samsung RIMMs
Depending on the results of an independant review of this board using the supplied PC3200 I may still buy but if said review is not favourable one of my plan 'B' options is to get a tried and tested Abit TH7-II RAID and a 2.2A or 2.26B (undecided on the P4 for a TH7-II).
Now here's the crunch. I've read numerous threads that seem to indicate that the currently available 40ns PC800 from Samsung is difficult to overclock to 4x133 and that the earlier 45ns stuff overclocked with ease
Has anybody tried the Corsair 40ns PC800 rdram? Does the Corsair stuff overclock better than the current Samsung stuff? The general consensus is that Corsair make the fastest DDR memory, although some may argue - so does the same hold true for RDRAM?
