Circaflex · Oct 17, 2004

Well im gonna ask for some new memory for xmas and give my ram to my brother so he has dual channel. But im not sure what to ask for. What will run 1:1 with my 270 fsb and maybe even more, im not sure what the max is but im getting h2o soon and it might go further. Thanks.

TCCD ram... that's the ram of the future, tomorrow and today....

What the deal with TCCD? I know it runs like low speed, tight timings, and OK timings at high speed...but how do you know if its TCCD? I want some 1:1 action with my P4 and I was thinking of some OCZ stuff...but I would like to know what TCCD is exactly and how you can tell if a given memory is it or not...would be nice if you could explain it.

yea what is tccd?

Gautam · Oct 17, 2004

Does into the 270's with 3-3-2.5 timings, and can occasionally break 300 with 4-4-2.5. There are actually plenty of sticks out there that use them. Corsair 3200XL, Kingston HyperX 3200, Mushkin Level 2 Rev 2, A-Data 566, PQI Turbo 2-2-2, and apparantly some very inexpensive Patriot memory.

Thanks for the info. I'm not new I just haven't visted the memory section much ever since I first needed help picking out memory.

Circaflex · Oct 17, 2004

Circaflex · Oct 17, 2004

http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_el_ddr_pc_4400_dual_channel_gold this ram will do 550mhz at 2.5-4-4-8. I think it might use the huynix chips though

Circaflex · Oct 18, 2004

anyone else got a link or anything to some ram that uses the tccd chips?

thanks for the link but im still weary about taking my chances with some tccd pc3200 what would be something you guys recommend? Should i look into the new ballistix by crucial? maybe some pc4200? or pc4400?

Gautam · Oct 18, 2004

You're best off with TCCD no matter what, period.

Unless you're giving god's own BH5 3.8v and have it at 270 2-2-2, but that's a different story....

If you plaster a sticker that says 19,475,550 on a tccd chip it is still a tccd chip.

What will run with my 270 FSB?
