is this true, is this the best i can do for my p4p800-e deluxe.. or is there better. thanks!!itchy5 said:you should have just bought some OCZ 3200 plat rev2, that stuff scales up to 300+

Sucka said:It's TCCD, more suited for high MHz systems ie: AMD's with downward unlocked multi's. It is very good RAM, i don't know about "the best" though. I am running TCCD (G.skill) with my Intel system and it does well. You need to consider how far your chip is going to clock (FSB wise) and then buy the best memory based on that speed, that will also offer the lowest timings.
nstabl said:but should i get that ocz 3200.. will ocz 4000 work in my p4p ddr400 board?
nstabl said:well i just want to know 'the best' i am ready to buy and my fsb is gonna be around 260-280.... ocing from 3.0 to around 4.1, so i think i need veerrry good ram..
Q: What does EL mean?
A: EL stands for (E)nhanced (L)atency. Enhanced Latency memory modules are specifically designed to run at lower latencies than normally possible on most standard memory modules.
Q: What is ULN2 Technology?
A: ULN2 stands for (U)ltra (L)ow (N)oise. This is a technology that uses various printed circuit board (PCB) techniques to reduce the amount of electrical noise that is present in all high-speed ICs. This results in faster and more stable memory.
Q: What is HyperSpeed® Technology?
A: HyperSpeed® Technology denotes specific IC’s built and selected for their ability to run at the highest possible frequency. HyperSpeed® enabled modules contain firmware and are built on a printed circuit board (PCB) that is optimized for the highest possible frequency. Due to these optimizations, the module may not be able to be run at lower timings than those specified for that particular product.
Q: What is EVP®?
A: EVP stands for (E)xtended (V)oltage (P)rotection. This is a novel OCZ voltage protection feature that allows modules to handle higher voltages. OCZ EVP® protected modules can tolerate VDIMM voltages up to 3.0V ± 5%. All EVP® protected modules are covered under OCZ’s Lifetime Warranty if overvolted within EVP® tolerances.
Q: What is the difference between the Gold and Platinum Series?
A: The Gold series of memory modules are specially designed to be run at high frequencies using HyperSpeed® Technology. As a result of these high frequency optimizations, the memory may not be able to run at lower timing settings than specified in the specs for each product. Additionally, the Gold series is specifically designed to be used with Intel i865 and i875 chipset based motherboards. The Gold series can also work with AMD based motherboards, but you should check our Motherboard Qualification Guide for specific compatibilities. Finally, the Gold series comes with a copper heat spreader that has a reflective metallic gold finish.
The Platinum series of memory modules are designed to be run at very low timings on both Intel and AMD based motherboards. For a complete list of compatible motherboards please check our Motherboard Qualification Guide. Each Platinum Series module comes with a copper heat spreader that has a reflective metallic platinum finish.
Q: What distinguishes the Premier Series and how is it different from the other series?
A: The Premier Series is our value line of memory. This series offers great OCZ performance at a very reasonable price. These modules are designed with the mainstream user in mind, and so we recommend that enthusiasts look at the other lines we have available like the EL, Gold, or Platinum modules.
Q: What does Dual Channel Optimized mean? Is this the same as matched pairs?
A: Dual channel optimized means that we have qualified this kit of two modules to work well together in dual channel mode. We hand test the modules together in many different motherboards to ensure that they function properly together and are up to spec. Only when two modules pass our qualifications do they become packaged together as a kit of Dual Channel Optimized memory. This is the same as someone calling our kits a "matched pair" as the pair of modules has been validated to work together flawlessly; hence they are "matched."
nstabl said:I think I may this all down if you can tell me this is correct.... PC4000 is made pretty much for OCers.. because you normally will never have a 250 fsb with a stock system. same goes with pc4200, etc etc etc..... is this correct?????
nstabl said:well i just want to know 'the best' i am ready to buy and my fsb is gonna be around 260-280.... ocing from 3.0 to around 4.1, so i think i need veerrry good ram..
nstabl said:i learned everything about ram in 5 hours...
nstabl said:and the last and final question...... i will be AT 270fsb should i get 2x512 gold 4000 or 2x512 platinum 3200?? a lot of people are telling me the platinum, a couple of verifications and i can put in my purchase. thanks a lot guys
Falkentyne said:Didn't see this reply before I posted my previous one;
If you will be at 270 FSB on a 1:1 ratio, then I would get the gold 4000, because you are assured of at least 250 FSB. I do not know much about the plats, but if they are the rev2 plats with TCCD chips, then they will USUALLY hit high FSB's, but will require voltage to do it. And I don't know if your board will go higher than 2.8v, or if it will be stable at higher than 2.8v. But you also need to go to ocz's webpage and check the voltage requirement for the gold 4000's; if they require 2.8v, you're good to go. If they require 3.2v to run at 250 FSB (PC4000), then you have to make a decision.
Based on this stuff, I would definitely get the PC4000 if the golds run at 2.8v or lower.
*Edit*, just got off the phone with Microsoft, to see that you ordered the 4000's. Good choice, IMO. Let us know how it goes.
