Just a little feedback.

My 2 x 1GB Mushkin UCCC chip only runs stably on my system with 2T command rate; no matter what the CAS, TRAS etc settings that I've tried. Whenever set to 1T, it cannot take me over 255MHz and will auto restart if I set the VDIMM to anything higher than 2.6V.

Sometimes, it's not a hard rule that if you run 2 pcs or less RAM, your system would be able to address the RAM at 1T. It depends also on your mobo and the Memory Controller on your CPU. It seems that my Winchester might not be up to par.... unless someone else has tried the same memory modules I have on their Winchesters.... I will only then attribute this issue to this Abit mobo.

The hard fast rule is: The larger the memory modules, the harder your system has to run to keep it at the same timing as smaller modules.

Thanks for the correction...

izzit?
den i will try mine on 2T
cos mine cannot go over 250mhz

but in terms of performance wise, 255mhz on 1T is much better than 270mhz on 2T...

hmm...just made my transition from 512MB Kingston HyperX to 2G Kingston Value...though RAM quality has downgraded, but the RAM quantity has upgraded...and i am pretty satisfied with the end result...really appreciate the smoothness!

But it gives me more satisfaction coz it shows that the RAM is good for 270. I've not tried higher but it seems to hang occasionally at 280, so I guess I still have headroom to 275.

Actually, the part I dun like is that @ 1T, it is not stable coz the VDIMM is stuck at 2.6V. Don't ask me why this happened; it just did.

what to do what to do .. i used memtest to test my ram .. then i found out error after the scanning...any remedies ?

Lower the FSB/HTT or use more relaxing timings.

MORE RAM is always the way of the future.

i remember those days when i play with 640k memory on config sys just to get a game running and with like 7 different configs for various purpose.

hhaa... u used quarterdeck memory menager thing or dos's memmaker?

or manually hand edit config.sys and autoexec.bat?

memmaker 6. I had to free up 630k just for Falcon 3.0.

manually hand edit config.sys and autoexec.bat

you know la, those C:\> copy con config.sys then when type finish press F6 and enter blabalblabla.

huhuhu just now tried resize an image to 3metres X 1metre with 300res
the photoshop ate 1gb ram

my maximum was 900mb physical usage, 1GB pagefile

since closed the virtual mem edy of cos all use the physical ram lo

I'm using a pair of these and they work very well at 1T. FEAR now does not lag even during the crowded fire fights. Am replaying the game as a result of this upgrade!

Yeah, those RAMs were tested and developed for DFI boards, lucky you. I am not having too much luck with my Mushkin UCCC. I've just changed from a Winchester 3500+ to a Venice 3000+ but still have to run at 2T.

any ballistix 2gb user here?
well, just checking...
i will soon gonna go for 2Gb.. but still yet to decide to go for uccc or be-5
i know -5B D owns all, but the price tag

since be-5 n uccc works well at 2.7~2.8v, which can go higher at loose timing? [thru my googling, i only manage to see be-5 doing 3-3-3-x, thus ending slower than uccc]

p/s: im looking for something that can do 275++ with the budget of rm900

my ram normally uses 2.8V
which is the max i can set with my current mobo
lets say if i change my mobo and can increase until 3.0V or something
will it allow my to OC more?

i'm using ballistix pc4000 2gb kit..

currently my friend is rendering his final year project using maya at my pc. it eats 1915mb.. only 85mb free ram left
