I just noticed OCZ's new memory and I'm wondering what ICs they're most likely using. Sean, Flapper, anyone? Seems my PC3700 Gold Rev 2s with ProMos ICs are one-hit wonders, as I haven't noticed them mentioned on any other sticks (anyone seen them elsewhere?). They work nicely @ 250MHz on my P4C800-E @ 2.5-3-3-6, 2.75v and a bit slower on my IC7-Max3 @ 3-3-3-7, 2.8v.

I'll just quote Tony on this one :D

Guys

Word is getting out about these new modules so i better give you some details.

Both these modules feature a new Hynix IC that does pretty well with low voltage and lower latency.

The 3700 is rated at 233fsb 2.5-3-3- and the 4000 is 250fsb 2.5-3-3. Most of the 4000 should be hitting 533 speeds with 2.65V or so with a lot doing higher.
Ryan did a small amount of testing and found on some boards the modules will do 2-2-3 at 200fsb or 2.5-2-3 but the bulk of the boards needed 2.5-3-3 at 200 but ran just the same at ddr500 also.We also found they did quite well on NF2 with 512's also although i will be doing a heap of tesing on this platform to confirm in a week or so.

I have a bench we ran off at the lab running a 2.4C on a P4C800E.No special cooling, just stock board and dimms.

Edit..i don't know why PAT is off but I will ask
