I am planning on getting a stick of 512mb pc150 at Cas 3. Does OCZ Tech have good memory? I want to be able to overclock and what not and I dont want bad memory.

They used to carry a lifetime warranty on thier memory, check & see if they still do. I bought mine from them...it turned out to be actuall Micron DDR SDRAM ! -so I kept it.xCarne_Asada said:I am planning on getting a stick of 512mb pc150 at Cas 3. Does OCZ Tech have good memory?

herbal'|' said:The only OCZ I've had was DDR, I'm not sure about their SDR, but I can only assume it's the same standards. I had some OCZ PC3000 DDR Ram. They claimed it would run at 183MHz. It did indeed run at 183MHz, but it would only do it at the absolute lowest Ram timings on my 8KHA+. When set on the high timings, it wouldn't even do 150. I have some Crucial PC2100, and it would do 160MHz with the highest timings. The Crucial @ 160MHz with the high timings killed the OCZ @ 183MHz with the lower timings. I have since bought some Kingmax PC2700 5ns. I hear it is a MUCH better overclocker, but I haven't received it yet. I think it will be because it contains true 5ns chips, whereas the OCZ had 7.5ns chips that were just overclocked. All in all, I definately would not recommend this Ram to anyone.
herbal'|' said:Yeah, I looked right over your sig, sorry. I haven't worked with a 8K7A before, but I would assume it is very similar to my 8KHA+. To change my settings, I go under "Advanced Chipset Features" in the BIOS, then it's under "DRAM Clock/Drive Control". Yours should be something very similar. The actual setting to change in my system is called "System Performance" and by default it is set to "Normal". Try looking for some of those things, or something like them. If you are still having trouble finding it later on, I'll d/l the 8K7A manual and take a look.
Here's the timings for OCZpc2400/EPoX8K7A on OCZ Techs website.balbert908 said:My setup is below. The settings I see in the bios gives me different numbers to select on like 5 lines. I have no idea what to chose for them.
Glad I could help!balbert908 said:Thanks thermal!
