Samsung Rdram... difference?

[Maxvla]

Is there a difference in the color of the cover on the samsung pc800 rdram?

i see some stores with cheaper prices have blue yet the higher stores have the silver and are a few bucks more expensive.

is the blue stuff old? and would that affect overclocking?

ok. i found a reference to the blue that was 8 device (single sided).

so is the silver 16 device (double sided) better than the 8 device?

i would think fewer devices means fewer places to have error but also twice the load per device.

anyone? :confused:

come on... :rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure that lower density (RDRAM with more modules) is better for overclocking. So the double-sided, 16 device Samsung RDRAM would be better. This is probably because the load is spread over more chips and reduces heat.

very true. hadn't thought of the heat issue.
