[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!

Quote:

With NForce2 mobo's capable of FSB speeds far beyond 200mhz and Intel Canterwood (875P) boards reaching an insane 300mhz FSB, it might be a good idea to go shop for some new memory.
Madshrimps has tested 7 popular high speed memory sticks for you. Different Corsair, Twinmoss, Apacer and Samsung sticks were put to the test. Which one will be your next buy?

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

RichBa5tard · 24th April 2003, 13:54

To test max fsb, vdimm was set to 2.8v

jmke · 24th April 2003, 13:58

3.0v might even push some of them higher

RichBa5tard · 24th April 2003, 14:02

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?

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

mot: kvaajt nice roundup

RichBa5tard · 24th April 2003, 14:54

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
