[M]emory Roundup Q1 2003
 

RichBastard spend an awfull lot of timing behind his 2 new amd/intel systems testing out the latest memory that has hit the market, his findings can be read in this great article!

nice test

but i have to say that mine Apacer PC2700 goes 175 MHZ at max settings without extra vdimm
thats on a epox 8k5a2+ with KT333 chipset

To test max fsb, vdimm was set to 2.8v :)

3.0v might even push some of them higher =)

Not many boards are capable of 3.0vdimm. Most popular go to 2.7~2.9v

Do I hear the sissing of a solder iron?
vdimm voltmod

small question, what's the max 'safe' vdimm?

mot: kvaajt nice roundup :super:

Corsair offers warranty up to 2.9vdimm if i'm not mistaken. I'd say that's a safe voltage.

You do have to keep the middle between heat production and signal integrity.

use good memory cooling during benching =)
& you can easily push 3.2v+ through those DIMMs

nice work and btw, after reading the above posts I checked my bios settings and yes, my corsairs sticks are still running @ 3.2v (since september 2002 :spank: )

one damn fine review !
just what I needed, couldn't quite figure that twinMOS **** out untill now ;) I know what to buy... :)

major mistake deDected:

Dedected SPD

or does "to dedect" really exist? I thought it was "to detect"

fixed
3min

:banana:

thanks for pointing it out!

collect all 5 engrish words to win 2 wonbond bh-5 sticks. ;)

watch out with what you promise rb :p

..... n°2 : ordenary :^D that mem is mine I tell ya, mine

please correct the errors too biCker :*

I don't like messing around with somebody's work, I'm just going for the "wonbond" sticks ;)

edit: For the record, I don't want to critisise your work/english RB, hope you don't take this as an offence

at least quote the text where you find the errors, that way we can correct them easily :)
thanks :*

done

:super: thanks Peter :ws:

:gay: One major error: it's twinmoS and not twinmoSS!!

This difference is important because twinmoSS memory is fake and bad memory.

darn major error |-)
will try to fix it tonight ;)

thanks for pointing this out!

while I was correcting it, I saw you posted this. Hope you don't mind I finished it.

Corrected ? How? it is in the images :p

I have 2x 256mb Twinmos PC3200 cas2,5 - 50B's for my new system , is it possibel that these run @ 333mhz but with cas2 and other timings at max?

that depends, some memory modules just don't like certain strict timings

but 333Mhz would be underclocking your ram, so it is possible that they run fine @ CAS2 2-5-2 at PC2700 speeds.

In the text there was also written Twinmss everywhere....

Mine run @ 215 fsb @6-3-3 cas 2 :)

2.8 Vmem

that you for correcting that part already :ws:
