Hmm, what's the max it can go for 1:1?

Previously it was BH-5's but what's the best chipset for oc these days? Hynix?

Enlighten me further on it please?

Looks like it's another piece of good stuff
Well, what RAM normally carries it? Crucials?

I heard from someone that it can be found on Kingston KVR too. If only I happen to see them, I'd get 2 sticks

Newer KVR's are no longer with Hynix chips - mostly Elpida and Kingston chips.
I'm not sure if the next batch would come with Hynix again though.

Yeah, he still has some stocks of Hynix. I went scouted in LY and Digital mall, none has Hynix

How do you guys normally "handpick" RAMs that has head spreaders? Are we able to tell what chips they carry without opening it?

I'm still rather confused with the "handpick" term You mean these are specially selected RAMs out from the factory and they perform better than the rest?

Thanks for the information. I only remember I "handpicked" my OEM AthlonXP NIUHB I didn't know these days they do it from the factories.

From what I understand in other forums, current Ballistix and Tracers are all D9-GMH.

Older ones might not be a guarantee though. I'm not sure how accurate is this but mine works great.

It's either Hynix or Kingston chipset I guess.

i notice it was epilda when i check my ram...dunno it right or not?

My bad for missing out Elpida earlier. It should be better than those Kingston chipset I guess? You have to try them out.
I just sold my Hynix for Ballistix and I'm getting tighter timings at lower voltage plus higher FSB

Look at the upper right hand corner of the post. There's always a number associated with it

You Crucial Value must be a very good RAM then since my Hynix can't even do those timings.
Are we talking about 1:1 or something else here?

They do but they just call it a different name.

1:1 means the RAM would run synchronously with the FSB. There must be some settings in the BIOS? I'm not sure what name they give to it tho'.

AMD - Unfortunately, the CPU we are using for testing is a 3400+ with a rather low CPU multiplier, at 9x. This limits flexibility a bit, but it was decided that keeping the CPU clock speed at 2.8GHz by raising the HTT up to 311mhz and leaving the multiplier at 9x. On the AM2 platform, there are 4 different memory ratios:
DDR2-400 (1:1) - Gives CPU/9 memory divider, which sets the memory to 311MHz
DDR2-533 (4:3) - CPU/7, sets the memory to 400MHz
DDR2-667 (5:3) - CPU/6, memory to 466MHz
DDR2-800 (2:1) - CPU/5, memory runs at 560MHz
(Note: memory ratios are still calcuated the same way as DDR1 based K8s. See A64 OC'ing Guide for further details on this)

Another one of how it can be set:

The BIOS would somehow have to tell what frequency would the FSB, DRAM, etc runs. The settings and options might be different but ultimately, there must be somewhere to set a synchronous FSB:DRAM?

There are some by allngap or you can get those Corsair, etc.

I normally frequent quite a number of other forums and most people are on Ballistix (that's for sure). Of course, there are also people with other types of RAM
