hard call but i think id take the Gskill because i know a few people that have had great luck with theirs

Nexus Realized · 01-04-06, 05:47 PM

G.Skills

CCUABIDExORxDIE · 01-04-06, 05:48 PM

which Extreme Series, the pc4000 stuff?

and i vote for Gskills either way.

edit: pc3200 vs pc4000??

GSKILL FTW even more!

Sir. BOBSONATOR · 01-04-06, 06:07 PM

sir_pyro · 01-04-06, 07:12 PM

another vote for the G.SKILL. I'm running that exact same set in my current rig.

party animal · 01-04-06, 08:17 PM

I say go for G.Skills too. They are clocking pretty nicely.

I have this one in my Xeon dullie running 220MHz 2.5-3-3-8-1t. My Newegg review is there too. Third one down at the moment.

CAS 3: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ubmit=Property

Some of these will be less than PC3200 so keep that in mind.

WOW! sounds sick to me!

For the price i mean.

gigabit · 01-05-06, 06:12 AM

I have a question about the 2x1GB sets of PC3200. Would a set with lower default timmings like 2-3-2-5 OC better than a set with 3-4-4-8 timings since you can raise/loosen the timing's more for more of an OC.Because if the sticks need to run 3-4-4-8 just to get to DDR400 i would think they wouldnt have much left in them.(i think i answered my own question)I would think the tigher timings would allow a higher OC since you can loosen them.Unlike with the 3-4-4-8 timimg you cant go much looser.I would usally go for the PC4000. But im curious since ive never used a 2x1gb set before and im thinking of going that route

alot fo the 2-3-2 timings @200 are infineon that failed to make the cut for pc4000 so you might get a good overclock, but most likely you'll get around 20mhz out of them (they don't oc any better if you loosen the timings). with the 3-4-4 timings it depends on what chips they are. if they're lesser binned uccc so they might oc ok, if they're something else they probably won't be very good

EvilCloudStrife · 01-05-06, 01:18 PM

i NEED a set of 2gb ram that can run 264mhz. lower timings the better ofcourse. lowcost is a plus as well.

would the g.skill cut it?

gigabit · 01-05-06, 01:33 PM

yep couple people i know run over 250mhz with the Gskill 2x1gb PC4000's

wa77ss · 01-05-06, 01:51 PM

I just ordered some g.skill from the egg for 201 shipped. I will be putting these with a opty 148, so I am hoping for like 270. = ) Which will be right at 3ghz

Ankun · 01-05-06, 06:04 PM

From what I've heard, with the more recent batches of the gskill from newegg people are having issues (myself included) I cannot push them above stock speed w/ stock timings and voltage.

Maybe try the OCZs.. I havent used them but as I said I have the gskill ES

Please direct me to these people,because I can't seem to get over 259.4
fsb with the same 2 gig kit you speak of. Check my sig for info.
Any help would be most appreciated.

party animal · 01-05-06, 08:24 PM

Try upping your voltage a little bit.

Killaapp · 01-06-06, 12:40 AM

The recent batch of 2x1024 G.Skill DDR500 have not been performing nearly as well as the previous batches.

For these reasons, I ordered this 2gig kit.

party animal · 01-06-06, 12:50 AM

Those OCZ use Samsung UCCC (i think). They should clock pretty well, somewhere around the G.Skills.
