I wonder why they didn't include the OCZ EB.

[Ubermann]

Are they producing them any more ?

EB is apparantly discontinued :(
there goes one of the best A64 OCers friends.....

In my opinion:
High voltage suicide kamikaze style: Bee Aech Five
Low voltage high fsb luvving: TCCDeeee!
El cheapo nearly 0 % mem OC: TCCC

In my opinion EB just fit in between the two, still required modding your board for excellent results and not being nearly as manly as Bee Aech five.
TCCD is cool though, really like my TCCD.

Again!?!? Didn't they just restart the reproduction like a few months ago? :confused:

It's still on the OCZ website though.

It's pretty hard to reach high FSB on BH5 especially if you have 2X512MB. 250Mhz pretty much needs 3.2+v, with EB, they can reach ~280 or so with 3.1v(kinda like a sweet spot for them voltage wise)

[Crankster]

280 is VERY uncommon for EB with the best EB timings, i think the chance is about equal of getting 260 on Bee Aech five

ya, not at 2.5-2-2, but it's doable at 2.5-3-3 or 3-2-2.

[Crankster]

But then BH-5 with a higher multi is better. =)
EB needs to lay the big smack in FSB in order to the Bee Aech five.

[bias_hjorth]

wasnt their a review (from someone in here ;) ) that stated 3-2-2-x was faster than 2-2-2-x on a64 rigs.. I think it was a EB review :) ;)

[saaya]

no, it was an article about the a64 on lostcircuits.com :)

[RocKer]

I have got an email from my pc-shop in regards of EB mem,the emaild OCZ themself and the say that EB pc3700 and EB pc3500 is nomore avalible:( ,
only pc3200 EB is avalible.

I am speaking only for belgium/europa,dont now if it still is avalible in usa.

Is that pc3200 EB any good or not,what fsb will that give on a a64 3200+,enybody have that overhere then please drop a line.

neverever....maybe with one single 256MB-stick....but with that config u just can bench and try to enlarge your virtual pen*s :rolleyes:

if that would be with 1gig so - fine....but my gig 3700EBs "only" do 260MHz @ 3-3-2-0-1T with SINGLEChannel.....

I

I like the BAF style pronounciation :D

Basically I think, Anandtech didn't show anything much new with that review we didn't all know already here. Now, the question whether BH-5 still owns all the benchmarks or the new high fsb memories can sneak ahead, obviously still remains open, and people have various opinions about it here as well.

[Kanavit]

that is sooo true, my 1GB Kingston HyperX PC4000 ran much better on my Intel dual channel i865 mainboard with PAT. I could get lower 2-2-2 timings on that platform, On the AMD 64 Asus K8V VIA KT800 ,I could only get 2-3-3 @ DDR400 speeds.
