View Full Version : Which GEIL Memory???
I'm probably gonna get some GEIL pc3500 memory 512mb(2x256) for dual-channel.. Should I get the Ultra Platinum or the Golden Dragon or is there a big difference???

how about another brand? lol. I'm going to try this Buffalo pc3700 but that adata would be at the top if i had the money.
This memory was used in the mobo I have for a review and did pretty good:

That's why I was wondereing about the golden dragon or ulta platinum..

GeIL Golden Dragon is a mixed batch. Some good some bad. Timings I have seen are on par with WinBond CH-5 memory, but without the voltage issues.
Or should I just get 1 stick of Buffalo pc3700???
my pc3500 performed beautifully at 5:4, but was weak at 1:1
i woudl recommend ultra platinum if you can really crank up those voltages

Geil Golden Dragon PC3500 would not even let my IC7-G post, and didn't work any better than my mushkin pc3200 in my NF7-S
I RMA'd it...

Ultra Platinum.
PC4200 2x512 works with no memory errors with PAT and turbo on 540 MHz. No other memory comes even close for me.
PC4000 2x512 got only to 520 MHz but I am guessing chipset limitations.
PC4000 2x256 exactly the same case.
PC3500 2x256 works fine at 5:4 on 264 MHz FSB, turbo on with 2-3-3-6.
Top quality memory and not for AMD systems.
Funny, all of the above was bought refurbished, I guess some NForce guy was forcing it and then RMA'd.
All of the above passes 10 loops of MemTest86 and few hours of Prime95. With these experiences there is no way in hell I would use any other memory on Intel than GEIL. They have me.
