PC3200 DDR CL2 2-2-5 Samsung memory roundup

jmke · 13th October 2004, 11:52

The memory kits we have from Corsair, Kingston, Mushkin, OCZ, and PQI are pretty much identical. They all have models with identical latencies (2-2-2-5), some basic heat spreaders, Samsung TCCD IC's and a lifetime warranty. So, memory modules using identical IC's at identical latencies should yield similar results. We found that this was not the case and discovered a new bottleneck for memory -- the PCB. Sit back and grab a drink while we reveal the bottle neck to you so the dedicated enthusiast knows what is going on.

As I know, the TCCD only has two pcbs,
1. B6U808
2.B6u815

"my personal experience" is that 808 performs better than 815

Yes, we are using Brain Power PCB

GSKill I received here is 808
they perform great at tight timings; should have a mobo capable of some xtreme clocks this weekend

I would think the IC is the key; PCB layers 3,4,5,6 might effect surface mount components I would "think" and not negatively impact the performance. Interesting.
