Is this good memory?

[Sideburns]

Thinking of getting some of the following memory to use on my 8k3a+ alongside some corsair xms 3000 256mb. Should i have any probs and how fast will this memory go?

TWINMOS PC3200 512MB DDR400 CL2.5 OEM

Anyone have any experience with this memory, im just looking for 166fsb with cas2 really, but dont wanna pay corsair prices

Try and get the twinmos/winbond 3200 not just the twinmos stuff.

[Sideburns]

Whats the end difference? is it higher quality/ more overclockerble/ more stable?

[Sideburns]

bump, has anyone any experience with this ram, with or without winbond chips??

[Holst]

My winbond chips do 225 fsb 5,2,2,2 timings on 8rda+

The twinmos/twinmos stuff might not be as good.

Cool, thanks for reply Holst, like i said im looking for 166mhz and cas2 in 512mb with a little oc headroom and the right price, which this twinmos stuff seems to be

I have a similar module, with Winbond chips, and it works at DDR333 CAS 2 4-2-2 pn nForce2 w/o any problems, stock voltage and all.
Works even at DDR400 CAS 2 5-2-2 with 2.63V, and even at DDR433 same timmings but 2.77V.

Strange thing to say, I think. I've had modules from Crucial, Nanya, Kingston, Mosel and more (never Corsair or Mushkin - way too expensive for little or no increase in perceived performance), but my present TwinMOS PC2700 CAS2.5 (no Winbond) are by FAR the best overclockers I've owned. Sadly I've never had the chance to test them fully because my MB gives up way before the CPU and RAM, but both 512MB modules will do 384MHz 2-5-2-2 at stock voltage, while being rated at 3-5-3-3 at 333MHz - which is pretty good in my book. Oh, and these modules were bought 3 months apart, so they're not from a single, particularly good batch either.

yup, this aint bad memory, running 400ddr fastest timings on this 8k3a+ (sorry, cant remember the numbers) and this aint even the winbond stuff, ill try some uber high fsb later, i know what memory im buying from now on....
