Just read somewhere that they don't make the ram, just buy it and
rebrand it, anyone know who they buy it from ?

Thanks.

Does anyone make their ram ?, Corsair, ect ?

Thanks again.

Neither OCZ, Corsair, Gail or any other 'overclocking spacialist' ram is
made (as in the memory chips) by the company that markets it. They all just
buy memory chips from memory manufactureres (Micron, Winbond, Samsung etc)
and put it on their PCB... then they test it to make sure it performs to the
'enhanced' spec.

There's only a handfull of ram manufactures. Other companies like Corsair,
OCZ, Muskin, etc. either assemble them into modules or have someone else
do it for them using their name on the finished product. Almost anything
you buy these days aren't really made by the company you buy them from.
The key to ram is not which module you buy or from who, but the actual ram
chip that's on it, I'm not sure who the big players are any longer, but
when I was building ram boards for old 6502 machines, it was Hitachi, NEC,
TI, Samsung, and maybe a couple more I can't remember. Look up the specs
on the ram the boards use and if you know what you're looking for you can
tell how well it will perform compared to another.

No big debate here.
4 Machines...All with OCZ ram
1 with PC2700 3 with PC3200 Enhanced 5-2-2-2 timings.
All stable at rated speed of 200Mhz at stock timings....with relaxed timming
6-3-3-2 can achieve 220Mhz stable...passes memtest 86 all tests 5 passes.

Boards used are Chaintech 7NJL4/Asus A7N8X Rev 2/Abit NF7 rev 2...2 boards
are the Asus.

I have also in past used Geil/Infinion/Crucial and have had no probs with
any of those either.

Would you recomend OCZ ram ?, just can get the same a few hundred
bucks less than Corsair, Kingston ect, seems like a bargin >?

Any thoughts.

I buy the cheapest (well close) ram I can find. If I don't want to
research the module for the ram chips on it I just buy faster ram than I
need. OCZ ram is as good as any I guess as long as you research what
you're buying. Personally, I think they're high. I don't know what size
you want, but I'd get something like this.

or maybe one of these.

Had good luck with Kingmax last two machines.Ran 400mhz just like they said it
would without errors.

If the stability of the more expensive modules is better at the rated speed,
then surely the cheap one must not be completely stable, and should
therefore not rated at 250MHz?

What the hell is DDR copper? Or a DDR heatsink? Perhaps it's twice as fast
at removing heat?

How can the Markey Grade stuff NOT be Dual Channel capable?

How can the Market Grade stuff be incompatible with certain chipsets?

Perhaps this is the work of a complete moron of a marketing type trying to
differentiate the products? And where are the specs on Latencies? Since it
doesn't even tell you what the "major brand" is, you can't even find out.

Perhaps thats the reason why you felt it necessary to badly post 4
ill-considered replies.

But then, considering that the last full moon in Aus and the UK was on the
2nd of this month, probably not.

It show the current state of affairs when achieving the rated speed is
considered "good luck"

lemme see...last machine for ME, first motherboard died within an hour...second
went 4 days...first vid card wouldn't run 3d at all...had to tell supplier to
run my order history and see if I ACTUALLY knew how to bolt one of these
together. (AND I'd spent a fair amount of money with 'em...LOL!)

Current state of affairs is...build it faster, let the customer do the
R&D...LOL!

Thats pretty unlucky.

Last machine I built has been perfect!

Couple of dodgy hard drives in the past (both some form of IBM DeathStar -
time will tell if Hitachi can do a better job, until then I'm sticking with
WD)

I didn't have a RMA for seven years...then four in ONE build.

Most people wouldn't even have FOUND the problems,
I benchmark the living daylights out of EVERYTHING I build looking for
equipment
that would die JUST out of warranty...OR doesn't run up to the manufacturers
specs.

My Deathstar died 2 weeks out of warranty, BTW...LOL!

They might be high in your country but in Austrlai they are cheaper
than corsair and kingston, the corsair ram i want is 620 aussie
dollars, the same type OCZ is 530 dollars.

Thats for Dual Channel, PC3200 512X2 :)


So i guess its were in thw world you are depnds on the price ?

Thanks.

1stchoicememory.com/ does not even tell you the memory timings ?
thats scam, no wonder so cheap, prob the same ram as well but differnt

Yeah the OCZ PC3200 Enhanced 5-2-2-2 timings is he one iam looking at
getting, REV 2.0 of the ram is said to be better faster chips or
somthing, 220 is all i realy need as the mobile runs at 12.5 multi and
12.5X220 is 2750 ghz and thats a decent overclock from 1.8 on a mobile
2500 :)

And prob at a voltage of 1.8volts and still not tooo toasty but i
would settle for a 2.6 ghz :)

But with some water cooling who knows.

Thanks.

Well on nf7s v2.0 overclockers works fine. But i got 1 PC 3200 low latency
rated @ cas 2 - 2 -2 -7. And 1 pc 3500 rated at cas 2.5 - 3 - 3 - 9 . All
running Cas 2 -2 -2 -11 . Dual channel @ multiplier 10x an fsb 225 stable @
42 celcious idle. Both are oc memmory modules mem voltage is 2.90 . Mem
bandwidth aida 32 says 3500 an im not in a pissing contest here as ive seen
better :) On my buddies pentium cough cough he gets 5600 running dual 4
sticks of corsair 512 @ cas 2.5 -4 -4 -9 an it was rated @ cas2 but it wont
do cas2 @ 820 fsb lol. As hes running his fsb @ 210 An it crashes an wont
boot if you change any of the mem settings to anything different. But wow
5600 on aida32 i allmost fell over.:)

Yeah AMd can't compete on memory speed, yet an AMD system is nearly as

You might want to rephrase that since the dual channel 64 bit AMD Athlons
are a lot faster, with more bandwidth than Intel.

Actually, Geil makes their RAM from the ground up. Chips and all.
Many other companies buy their ram and put their name on it.
