need help with ddr2

[bazx]

i am going to start benching again after a bit of a rest

and need to start pulling the bits together

and i thought i would start with the ram

so what would you spend your cash on if you were to buy some new ram

in the next month?

yup, HZ seems to ROCK no doubt about it.

Either that or some TX PC6400 3-3-3 stuff.

 

[bazx]

Package : 2048MB kit (2x1GB) dual channel pack

- CAS Latency : 4-4-4-12 (PC2-6400)

- Test Voltage : 2.2~2.4 V

 

[bazx]

[bazx]

this the one

Thats the stuff!

Only a 1GB kit, but should be better for benching as 2x512 clocks better than 2x1GB

 

[Highland3r]

Indeed! Should overclock better than the 2gb kits too. Think the Team stuff Kenny et al have is a touch quicker though.

 

[bazx]

cool

i will be pulling my xmas rig together tomorrow and so far its

680i

look ok

 

[K404]

Kentsfield :O

Is this stuff you have or are planning on paper? I`d try to wait for Abit or DFIs 680I mobo..... EVGAs is....the weaker of the lot

 

[bazx]

do you think the dfi will be around for befor xmas

the kent will be bought tomorrow

 

[K404]

Rumour has it <6 weeks, but it would be a close call. I reckon they`ll want it out for Xmas, tho availability might royally suck. Might not give ya much time to learn the board? The Abit should be here pretty soon I reckon

 

[bazx]

just got the quad Qx6700

i went for the 680i in the end i liked what shamino said about it

as for the ram i have been all around the EU looking for HZ and the only place i could find some was in ireland and at a good price so should be up and running this weekend
