Nice price. Does anyone here have it and know what it's timings are at 166MHz, 180MHz, and/or 200MHz?

PC3200 is not even listed on Centon's website. Hard to say what chips they are using. Probably Samsung. I called my local Microcenter, and he said that they haven't received any of this ram yet......

I went in today to investigate, the chips have a PSC logo. The numbers also end in a -5, so it appears they are 5ns chips. I've never heard of these, but it's rated at CAS 3 / 400mhz. If anyone is interested, there are 2 left at the Marietta,GA store. I did some searching, but couldn't find out if these will do 400mhz @ CAS 2. Thats all i'm interested in knowing, anyone have more info?

[vertexpc]

no doubt. been away from the forums lately, and did not realize PMs disabled by default.
just so everyone knows....not trying to get business from you guys, just a fellow bargain hunter with some connections. don't want a profit from these forums, just sharing the connections. that is all. (any disbelievers can pm me for a screenshot of the price i pay. will pass the savings along

Interestingly, Centon reguires the original receipt to get the rebate. No reproductions accepted.

original only accepted


"Centon provides a limited lifetime warranty to the original purchaser that all memory products manufactured by Centon shall be free of defects in workmanship. Centon's sole obligation in such event shall be Centon's options to either 1) repair, 2) replace, or 3) credit the value of the product (based on the lower of the actual purchase price or market value on the date the defective product is returned)."

No explanation of how on might obtain an warranty replacement without a receipt.

after typing up the second in Google, got a bunch pages from ASUS, saying that qualified DDR with that model # manufactured by Transcend.

Any firsthand experience with this RAM?

TwinMOS uses PSC 5ns chips in their PC3200, meaning this is not a bad memory. See the review here:

doing CL2 at 406 with a voltage jump.

I have Geil PC3500 in my A7N8X dual channel and I would advise against GEIL. I find that memory rather crapy and without voltage jump incapable of handling the SPD memory configuration. And I am talking about "platinum ultra" so it is hard to imagine GEIL is any better on their "regular" chips. I know, I know they say it is better in Intel but ...
