Which Value Ram is best?

[TheGr8s1]

Here's the link to 2 kingston pc3200 value ram types.

They look like this....

Kingston KVR400X64C3A/256 Hynix SS HY5DV56822BT-D43
Kingston KVR400X64C25/256 Winbond SS W942508BH-5

One has the hynix BT-D43 and the other is Winbond BH-5 and I'm undecided. Are there PC2700 models that I should look for as well?

Finding Value-Ram with those chips is quite rare now. The fact that you can purchase these makes you a bit lucky :)

In it's basic sense, you are looking at a 1:1 high-latency vs 5:4 low-latency. As Hynix BT-D43 and Winbond BH-5 are the chips used in high-latency PC4x00 and low-latency PC3200/3500, respectively. So it's not a simple question, and depends on what you want to do.

Value-Ram with those chips is a good find :) Use to be common, back when Winbond BH-5/6 chips were used in most PC3200.

There is a store close by that carries a variety of them types of ram. That's why I'm asking. I plan on using them with my newly purchased 1700xp DLT3C. (yes I found one) I'm looking at something that'll do 220mhz 1:1 with tight timings if at all possible. Keep in mind that this is my third rig and I want to keep it in budget. BUT I seem to have a problem breaking 275fsb 5/4 using OCZ PC3700 gold on my 2.4c so if these dimms can help me break that barrier than I might dump my PC3700 into the 1700xp rig instead. Decisions decisions. Somebody help me!

I am using ram that is rated 3200 but runs as if it were 4000
btw, I paid 119 canadian per stick

Kingston KVR400X64C3A/256 Hynix SS HY5DV56822BT-D43

This is the one you will find more than the other. Places like BB and CC have them and I have seen reports of people getting some pretty unreal speeds with the PC2700 of the series. The ones people find do have an "AT" at the end but are doing similar speeds.

Are there PC2700 models that I should look for as well?
That should answer that also. ;)

The winbind would be a really amazing thing to find. I wouldn't keep your hopes up but the other is a possibility. Good luck!

I bought 2 sticks of 256mb pc2100 with kingston chips for $9.99 a pop after rebates and right now im doing 192 fsb on 2.7 volts stable as a rock. Dual channel with 7-3-3-2.5 timings to boot!!

[TheGr8s1]

192FSB just doesnt cut it for me man. But good deal nonetheless. :)

CHEERS!

I bought 2 sticks of these Kingston KVR333X64C25/256 but I got Winbond CH-6 in them. Any know how well these would/should do? I haven't the time to run tests on my NEW Barton setup yet so I would like some input.

[Quailane]

In my previous post I wasn't saying you should get some, just that KVR is a lot better than people think. Those windbond chips aren't as good as BH-5 but I heard that they go higher at stock voltages, but its close though and you shouldn't be dissapointed.

[TheGr8s1]

rather than saying what u heard could u provide me some facts/figures?

[Supertrucker]

if you plan on using the ram for an amd system then there is no question, the bh-5 chips (or even bh-6s prolly) will be better than the hynix. the hynix tend to not do low latency even with really low (sub 200) fsb. but they are good for insane fsb speeds. the bh-5s will do around 220 at cas 2 with enough voltage, but would never* reach the same mhz speed as the hynix.

if your current ocz in your p4 has bh-5s you might want to consider dumping it into the amd and getting the hynix to run 1:1 in the intel system.

so basically high fsb- hynix. 220ish fsb with tight timings- bh-5s
