How good is Shika DDR ram?

Aviator747 · Jul 29, 2004

Exactly how good is Shika ram? I can get a stick of 512 PC3200 2.5v CL2.5 for a $100.00 CDN. This ram is a month old. I currently have a stick of 512 Twinmos PC3200 on my NF7-S 2.0. Running a mobile 1700+ @ 2.5Ghz. On a 200 FSB.

This guy has 2 sticks for sale. If it's pretty decent stuff. I just might get both sticks.

i do not know how well their normal ram runs.. but their xram-from what ive been reading and hearing is exceptional. the pc4400 ran right along with the ocz stuff and ocz has some dynamite ram...

ty and bookmarked.
isnt a bad price for pc4400 long as it performs like the test modules which i dare to say may have been hand picked samples also.

but hey options are good

ShikaXRam is also sold at NCIX. I'm not certain if NCIX still ships to the USA however.

Edit: It seems that it is not available right now, but you can pre-order it at least.

Well, here are the USA Prices. It's kind of sad that I buy almost all my components from this store and I didn't even notice the USA link until now.

Ya, NCIX is the only online dealer that I know of. AFAIK one of my local shops can get it too.

Ya those are CDN prices at NCIX.

I wouldn't mind having a gig.

I don't know if it is worth me chancin it or not. I eventually want to start feedin my ram some voltage. I am at 2.9 at the moment.

Does anyone know where I could find a 512 stick of BH5 Twinmos that is available to Canada?

P.S. I meant to type Mobile 2500+ for my proc in my original post. hehe

You should have approached these guys about doing a review for them, before buying their ram. Of course, then they probably would have then cherry picked at set for you and I know that the last thing you want is for a ram manufacturer to select a couple of kickass sticks for you and your P4 to play with, right? Yeah...right.

You could have pointed them to this forum and to a couple of your "ram reviews" and let them see the number of hits they generate. Their eyes would have popped out of their heads, thinking about the sales potential in one of your reviews.

All kidding aside, this way you know that your sticks will stand a chance of being representative of what the rest of us would get. Good luck with your testing.

unfortunately, most of these companies dont pay much attention to me.,lol. one very honest site owner, told me that some memory companies actually get mad if they dont get good reviews(or if a person is honest) and refuse to send memory to them in the future. so if i buy it with my own money, you know i aint owned by anyone. and here in these forums, all u have is ur word...

It's damn nice to have people like you in the community Flapperhead.

Looking forward to your results.

P.S. Goldstandard, I got a auto response when you replied to the thread and then afterwards.

flapperhead · Aug 2, 2004

Rabbi · Aug 2, 2004

Let us know how you get on Flapper! I'd be very interested in your results... I think some PC4400 is beginning to use Micron chips

Merlin, a new member, had his OCZ 4400 running 270 3-2-3-8 on an NF7-S with 2.85v! :drool:

Good luck dude
