the speed can be setup at bios...

Just upgraded my rig last Tuesday. Need to check with you guys if I had bought the right stuff.
Memory wanted was 1GB 800Mhz DDR2 ram.

So I bought this :



And this is the result :



And this is what my BIOS show me can select :



My CPU is Intel CD E2146 (1.66 @ 800 FSB). But my BIOS somehow showing the ram can only be set to max 667 Mhz. Could it be my mobo setting? I'm running on Asus P5B-MX/WiFi-AP.

Well, my point is, i do hope everything can be run at default and no changes or OC watsoever is needed. Anyway, i shall be getting the DDR2 800Mhz then..LOL..

One more thing, between the Normal Ballistix and Ballistix Tracer, is there any major temperature difference? People are saying the Tracer is hot but by how much when compared to the Ballistix?

Sumthing is wrong there....perhaps u could try flash to newest motherboard bios

can someone provide updated information on DDR2 based chips

this thread is getting stale...

i'll be doing updating on the first page to reflect the changes and credits will be given where due.

the max speed u can attain is depends on the northbridge. AFAIK 945 and earlier ddr2 based northbridge officially supports DDR2-400/533,DDR2-667, while 965/P35/X38 officially supports DDR2-800

and ur running on p5b-mx, which if i'm correct is 945/946 based.

confirmed... its onli officially supports DDR2-667

i'm using DDR2 667 on my Asus P5LD2-SE.. the listed supported ddr2 800 ram on the guide book was only hynix chipset.

just 1 2 ask whether can a mobo that supports 667mhz can it support 800mhz hyperX ram?

Hi guys, saw a site regarding chips of DDR2 memory.

PC2-6400 Ballistix

4.0-4-4-12 @ 2.2V

Micron D9GMH (B6-3)
Micron D9GCT (B6-37E) (possible)
Micron D9GKX (B6-25E) (possible)
Micron D9DQW (BT-37E)

From all the D9 chips above, may i know whats their difference especially the D9DQW?Which is the chip that is best for current DDR2 ram and why?Thanks..

I would love to know the reason also...
Thought tracers are D9GMH??
Unless you open the heat spreader then you'd know the chips used...I'm not going to risk the warranty..

first question ..
is D9GMH still in production?

My laptop is using sodimm ddr2 533, can i use ddr2 667 instead of 533(533 is very expensive)

if yes, it will run on 533Mhz or 667Mhz ?

thank u

it depend on your mobo. u can check your mobo compatibility from internet or just stated what is the model of the laptop. Most(not all) mobo support both 533 and 677.
if u talk about dual channel, most probably u can if your mobo support it. I using compaq v3010 with 1gb533+1gb677. so, my laptop run in dual channel with 533mhz.

thanks dude

almost to be "wikipedia"

Anyone can explain why performance type RAM from OCZ sold at cheaper price at Lowyat, compared to other brand? kinda tempted at their price, but must tread cautiously so not rugi la buying lesser item..

disclaimer: I am not expert in term of RAM yet..

OCZ does not mean it performance ram

they have difference product range to cater for the mass market

usually the same timing/spec ram between those brands will command abt the same price level.

They have several category for their performance ram.

Try to google about them. Here is their performance RAM series:

1.Gold
2. Platinum
3. Titanium
3. Reaper
4. Flex

currently what is the best performance ddr2 800 ram under the region of rm350?

Crucial Ballistix,can do 11xx@5-4-4-12@2.35V.All the other one,forget about it.Or else Corsair XMS2 Rev1.x also can.

How about Team Elite Ram 4GB kit?
Anyone using it? How far can it go?

hey bro, getting it from u d... after arrive i shall test it... but gotto wait till i back campus as my pc are there... hometown pc all using ddr1
