Deals seems notr to be good.

ok just got back to dorm, and I've only tried the ram at 166fsb, but with the lowest timings, 2226 i believe, and its pretty stable. Will check tomorrow about higher fsbs

Some of you probably remember a program called "CTspd" created by the german magazine c't that would read the SPD on SDRAM chips to tell the manuf data, default speed settings, etc. Unfortunately it doesn't work with DDR. The other day I read about a recent shareware program called CPUcool, that among it's many features, is said to read the SPD data on DDR's. Give it a try and let us know what it says. link

which part of it is important?

Ok I don't have a DDR capable MB yet, so can't verify this actually reads DDR data, but if it works like old SDRAM DIMMS, the stuff of interest can be found this way:

In the Big Display mode;
Functions --> SDRAM EEPROM contents --> SDRAM (1,2,3,4)

First screen should show;

CAS latency:
RAS-to-CAS delay:
RAS precharge:
SDRAM cycle time:
SDRAM access time:

then click Extended Output, screen is mostly the same info, click OK another screen pops up
halfway down the right will tell the;

Manufacturer:

bottom line will show;

Specification for frequency:

This won't tell anybody what the max o'clock ability is, but should at least tell us the manuf specs.

This site looked suspicious to me, I remember it once being overclockerz.com or something, and then it changed to oc system (I think), and now it's changed again. One reason why, is that it has terrible reseller ratings. Basically, they don't even have the products they're selling, they wait until people place orders, charge them, THEN buy the products and ship them, though aside from that underhanded business practice they would usually ship the wrong ram, too... they were notorious for shipping pc2100 dimms instead of pc2700.

Look at this page: http://www.ocsystem.com/oc51pc40ddrs.html
and the original site's page: http://www.enetshoponline.com/51pc400mhzdd.html

Rather similar, aren't they. Though if that's not enough, just go to the 'contact us' pages on both sites and look at the address... it's exactly the same.

And here's the company's reseller rating: http://www.resellerratings.com/seller2227.html

wow p53200 not stable at 166? Thats pc2700 speed.


I think the crucial deal for 53$ is better than this

lol...have you guys visited OC System's website? They have ridiculous looking cooling stuff fitted on video cards that don't seem to do all that much.
BTW They have a 9500 "SE" 128MB @ 320/620 that has a Thermaltake cooling system on it...from the shape of cooler it looks like it may be able to softmod to 9700.
if so $185 is good.

 

[m1ke101]

wow I'm having some pretty bad luck with ram, first the two sticks of "pc3500" from hardcorecooling, and now this stick. I'm about to get the hyperx from excaliburpc

 

[lsman]

so deal is not good.

 

[vetteguy]

I ordered 2 sticks of this memory and just installed it in my P4 system. Now my system only has a 400MHz FSB, so I can't really test it to its limits, but I ran Sandra and it reports the memory as PC2700. Is Sandra reliable for that kind of information? If so I'm going to contact them and demand my money back, since they fraudulantly sold me PC2700 labeled as PC3200.

anyone had good experiances w/ this stuff yet?
