ADATA sticks, pretty good bang-for-the-buck

[lyle]

I bought a couple of sticks of "generic" 512MB PC2700 for $100 total about a month ago. It seemed like a pretty good deal, and when I got them I noticed that they were ADATA brand. I thought nothing about these sticks and in fact they were sitting in a drawer unused until I started reading the thread here about how good ADATA sticks were.

Those other sticks were Hynix chips on an ADATA board, and my sticks are Mosel Vitalic chips on an ADATA board. Well, can't know until you try, so I popped them into a 2.4C/P4P800 setup and right away they booted at 200mhz at 2.5-3-3-6. I tried 2-3-3-6, but didn't work. Top end of these sticks seems to be 215mhz at 2.5-3-3-6 at 2.65V.

Not too bad for PC2700 rated and 1GB of RAM for $100. May have to look into some of their other offerings.

I am hearing better things about them too. I think they are the first manufacutrer to release True PC4000 chips (500MHz).

i have v-data pc2700 stick that can hit 510mhz 2-2-2-5 3.15v (v-data is the same brand as a-data), an adata pc3200 with bh5 that can hit 510mhz at 3v 2-2-2-5, a v-data pc3200 not so good that can do 240mhz 2.6v 3-4-4-5 (like pc4000, over 240mhz i have mobo limitation in stability) so a-data is not a so bad brand, only a few time ago with good v-data pc2700 and a-data pc3200 with bh5 it was better...

Are those the Vdata -6B chips? I saw a stick of that at Best Buy in a Kingston ValueRAM package. I knew that Vdata and Adata chips had produced some excellent results, but I wasn't sure if the 6ns chips were any good.
