I have 2 sticks of UP 4200 from GEiL and they work fine at 250 DDR Duel channel 1:1 hell i even got them running 2.5-7-3-3 no problem....
Cant seem to get the memory to run at the 533DDR rated spec though, but there can be all kinds of reasons for that. I have a watercooling kit on the way and I will see whats up.
Async is funny too locks up during the memory test... but I dont really care for running it async anyways (the reason for running pc4200 is to run it sync imo)...
I'll have some more fun with the memory tommarrow but I bought it about $60 cheaper than the Comparitive Corsair 3500 and I get the same if not better speeds.
GEiL is not bad but it can be better, wonder what chips the UP 4200 is using?
Good for u, but the PC4000 UP just is not for me. I was planning to run 300:240. It does not happen of course. The fact that it does not even do 300:200 is just ridiculous. GeIL claims this stuff is "optimized for the i865PE/875P chipsets."
These are the exact reason I went with the OCZ. Their customer support was outstanding. My first set would not do the 5:4 divider even at spec so they sent me some that would.
If you need to find some OCZ I have found the best place to be Newegg.
