seems TwinMOS simply speed bin ALL chips at 2.5-3-3 (or whatever the rated timings are) and then label them accordingly... Eg, 44D, 50D, 60D, etc.
Some chips may be good for 4.4ns (227 MHz) but not for 2-2-2 timings... eg Hynix 43B or whatever...
the date code ending in "4" may be what TwinMOS do in house to label Winbond chips... makes tracking down common errors with a certain supplier easier if they know where the chips were made.
AADT vs AA4T definately relates to the last digit of the date code by the looks...

Aren't you too young to get migraines...I thought that was just for us old folks. :)
Besides, what controversy? This is just a fact finding mission we are all on at the moment. We are all on the same team here.

Some one else mentioned the 4 vs. the D on the date code. That info matches the product codes...if it performs well..it has a 4 after the date AND on the parts # label, if it doesn't, the ones with the D after the date code also have it in the part # and these do not clock as well.
The TwinMOS parts number is just indicating the same thing that is being printed on the chips themselves.
This 4 is what we should be looking for and is indicating the Winbond chips, whether or not it is a TwinMOS or an M.tec chip, they both are holding true on this.
:toast: At last :D
yes I also think that if the date ends with 4 it's winbond ! I have 2 sticks of 256mb twinmos at the moment. one is AA4T other is AADT. the AA4T stick's date ends with 4 and the AADT stick's date ends with D. I can't look at my 512mb sticks because they have heatspreaders on them. but as soon as possible I'm gonna look at them ;)

Mine are identiacal to yours trans. But I can make out the winbond dots on the chips. No boot here either. So twinmos is saying all the NEWER stock will have the utt chips?
afaik only twinmos/m.tec (not all) and twinmos speed premium (newer ones with lets say "winbond dots") have winbond utt. normal twinmos/twinmos is psc, former speed premium was selected psc...

well my 2nd 256 does only 261 mhz 2-2-2 so it's slightly slower than my 1st stick. SO 261 with 2x256 is my high right now. need to do some burning in. I think it's safe to say newegg has the good 512 sticks now. My vx is still faster and it's a whole gig. 2x512 @264 but they were $260 at the time.

I said that the 4 in the date code correlated with the 4 in the P/N which also correlated with good overclockers back on pages 10 & 12....
TwinMOS , like much bought on the internet, was never garunteed of anything (except working at the default spped settings)... We were just following a lead on the product...
If you are having trouble figuring out if you want to open the package or not look at the p/n code if it ends in AA4T, open it and overclock at 2-2-2. If it has a "D", "D"on't open it!!!! IT WILL NOT OVERCLOCK AS WELL AS THE AA4T.
If you want it even more general, look at the chips.. If there is no Letters on the 2 row , (the row that has 5 digits on it *the same number as how many fingers you should have on one hand*) then you have a good stick of memory. Be happy.

Alonso,
Are you the same Alonso that posted over at BleedinEdge on these chips back on 12-16-04?
I sent you a PM asking about them but never got a response. I just figured that OCZ had BE close your account or something...you became a marked man for disclosing it. :)
Yours was the first post that I saw that pointed to the M.tec chips. Thanks for the tip.
Speaking of OCZ...has anyone seen a post from them on this topic since all of this M.tec stuff got out? I sure haven't.
Back to TwinMOS...I am going to hold off on those Speed Premiums at newegg until either the picture changes or someone else orders. My fellow member at OC Forums is holding 2 of the OCZ value line PC2700 with the M.tec chips and BP PCB so I think I'll get those. He hit his cpu's limit of 255 (a 3.2 P4) before without being limited by the ram and one of the guys here got 275 on a A64 with the same 60D (PC2700) chips, both at 2-2-2-x, using 3.6-3.7v, so that is plenty good for me.

I knew that someone else had already posted that about the date and the 4 vs D but couldn't remember who had done it. Good call on that.
Also, thanks for the clarification about tictac's friend. It just didn't seem right, after all the fact finding that we've done, for those sticks to do well and be AADTs. It would have put large holes in our theories. Glad you cleared that up.
Our theories are still valid so far.

Actually, that is not a bad idea...if the picture has just not been updated (they did that with the Buffalo Tech PC3700 and Winbond) but the ram has the new ones they will sell a ton of them. With the old pictures the only way we are going to know is if someone takes the plunge.
If we call and ask them to check the product codes and not say anything about dates or the pictures, we will get all the info we need. I will try that and report back.

01-06-2005, 05:48 PM
The pic is old, there is no BT with BH-5 at newegg unless you get lucky with a refurb.
Well, I called them and the person that I spoke with attempted to help me, but in the end their supervisor told them that because they have 7 warehouses across the country they could not help me. They did verify that they will NOT change the picture, even if it no longer reflects the correct part # because it is still the same item, as far as they are concerned. And no one got upset with me for asking. I just told them that I had one stick with the AA4T part # and was trying to match it with another.
As they say nothing ventured...nothing gained.
We are right back to where we were which is someone needing to order from newegg to see what they are shipping.
That or finding KVR with the right chips at the local BB or CC or whatever store is near your area.
I've got a guaranteed in 2 OCZ PC2700 being held for me with the M.tec chips, so I will not be ordering from the egg. Someone else will have to be the one.

Brand new shipment, just became available at 6:00 P.M. US Eastern time. I called them and they said that they would not update the picture as long as the product was the same thing (TwiNMOS Speed Premium PC3200).
You want to be the first to order from this lot?
One of the guys from OC Forums got OCZ's Value line PC2700 in 512 sticks with the M.tec chips like those pictured above (except his have the "-50" after the date like some of those that have been pictured already) and they did 255 with 2-2-2-6 at 3.6v on his 3.2 P4 rig. He feels like he maxed his cpu and not the ram.
edit:
Man...I just had a terrible thought...what if the 4x256 that I ordered earlier in the week come back as AADT because they are shipped from a different w/h than the others. I ordered those based on the picture and now there is no guarantee that (AA4T) is what I'm getting. Crap!

Shroomalistic. you have a very good chance of the newer date. since we cleared newegg's stock. 99.999999% chance THey should have latest from twinmos.
If it comes back as old, you can always contact twinmos directly and see if they will take them in exchange for new ones. This is the safest bet, and I doubt they would say no.

Do you have a contact person at TwinMOS, someone that could be contacted in the event an RMA was "needed".
I just realized something...you and I would be receiving stock from the same NJ distribution center of newegg's so that improves my chances of getting the AA4T in my 4x256 Speed Premium order. Provided it was sent from there and not one of the others, of course. I hope to get mine tomorrow and test over the weekend.
Anybody had any luck with Kingston value ram. My fellow member at OC Forums says the sticks are flying out the door because of the rebate but I haven't even heard of anybody here or at OCF having bought any. He says their sticks have 66 legs so those that I have with 54 legs must be something else. I'm quite sure those are going back to CC.

I have several mobos to play with, none of these sticks are for 24/7 use. I'll play on A64 (MSI K8N Neo2 w/Winchester 3000) as well as P4 (Epox 4PDA2 Rev2 w/2.4/2.6/3.0). I also have a couple of NF7-S with mobile XPs that might play nice with these 256 sticks. I am trying to get my nerves up and my hand steady enough to try some volt mods on one of them. I've bought them cheap enough that it won't kill me if I fry one.
I don't usually (ok...ever) get stellar results, pretty much middle of the road, but I like to play around with it when the wife and kids have gone to bed.

im going to cut a few traces next chance i get and practice soldering in those...
my biggest problem was getting the resistors to stick the the SMD's, ive done a few vmods on videocards before this, but this was some pretty tight space for a soldering iron, im still far from where i need to be for that kind of mod...

I've pulled it out and put it back so many times in the last couple of hours that I think I've just about worn it out. :)
I am waiting to see what I get when I receive my 4x256 (I've already gambled somewhat) before I decide how much more I want to get into this.
I have a "sure thing" in the OCZ PC2700 that one of the members at OCF is holding for me so I will probably go that route. He has tested one of them and it maxed his cpu at 255 with 3.6v and they use the Brainpower PCB so I have very little to gain by gambling on the TwinMOS. One of the guys reported having hit 270 on an A64 with the PC2700 rated M.tec chips. Anything between 255-270 at 2-2-2-x is better than what I currently have.

The first link is less of a gamble if you agree with the theory that since newegg sold out of those and we've been told that the newer Speed Premiums will have the Winbond UTT, it would make sense that the new stock would be the ones with the AA4T product codes (which denotes the Winbond chips).
The second link is more of a gamble because it is still old stock and it shows the AADT code Plus I'm not even sure that anyone has bought these.

Well not going so well for my find
http://www.ricco.karoo.net/images/CIMG0153.JPG
At 3.3v is erroring at 217mhz 2,2,2,x and will reboot randomly at 220mhz .
( Neo2 with 1.41mod)
still the badwidth is slightly higher then the TCCD at 200 2,2,2,5 .
Might try in my P4m IS7e later today.
Seems the -44 is the stuff to find.
maybe you need to bump up the voltage, if you didn't get the right chips i don't think they had any chance of going 2-2-2 at any timings really.

Mainly this info will help UK ppl.
But I have managed to find some 4AAT stuff.
Got these from www.tekheads.co.uk , they has sopme 44D stuff too and some ADATA that looked like the right stuff, but I could'nt work out the chip codes.
Booted at 200 2,2,2,5 right away too ;)
.. pics ..
They had some 512 stciks that looked right, but I wanted 256's and the they only had 2 x PC2700 , all right and week code is right, but these are 60D ( BH-6 ?)
Also picked up a OCZ booster too, but who can tell if its actualy doing anything since Neo2 dont have DDRvolts sense ???
Whats the best way to curn these in, run them at 200 2.
,2,2,5 with 3.0v ??
Did you get in contact with tekheads to find out what chips were on that mem? Or did you just buy on the off chance?
<edit>
Adata from tekheads, Model Number: MDGVD4F3H4X1B1CZK
PCB : BUDA84A,Height (29.21mm),single sided component, Six layers
This seem like the right/decent stuff? (Thats a 512mb module, 2700)
Model No: MDGVD4F3G31LB1CZH thats on 256mb sticks, adata 2700
Same PCB as above....

WARNING FELLOW UK'ers!!!!
I ordered these from Komplett:
http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=113517&cks=PRL
The sticks are utter garbage,
AADT model numbers
but they have a mixture of 03 model Twinmos branded 50D winbond chips and another non-descript unknown chip, also branded by twinmos as 50D
what gets me is the winbond blanks have date codes of 03104
The unknowns have 0343D, so the chips have obviously all come from a "grab bin"
It must be warned that Komplett cannot be regarded as a reliable source. I guess we must simply wait until speed premium comes to the UK.
I'm not even testing these chips, they are going straight into the business computer (which allows me to sell my 2x512 of 3700EB which has been standing in on my business computer until I got some cheap ram ;)).
The proceeds from the EB will allow me to buy some speed premium when it becomes available.

With 3.2V they run fine at 215FSB with 2-2-2-5-7-12 settings, but after that it´s xtremely unstable even if I raise voltage up to 3.6V.
Maybe I should try with some nForce3 board, but these sticks are still a big disappointment. Hope you other guys get better sticks than I did.

Which suggests the 256mb are good, 512 aren't - your info backs that up with the TMD/TTD. Will let you know what they're like when they arrive (have ordered 2x256).

Man, I don't know if there is any pattern here or simply, as the OCZ guys said in some of the earlier VX discussions, they don't all pass the testing. We may simply have a case of our own "speed binning" going on. Some chips do well, others don't.
The only ones that seem to be "sure things" right now are the 256MB PC3200 TwinMOS Speed Premium with the AA4T sticker codes and the date code on the ram ending with a 4, plus the "44D" speed rating on the chips. All of these seem to be doing well.

I'm inclined to think that if you find it then it was made before they realized that they could use the chips in the VX and sell them for more. I have been looking for it and all that I can now locate has the OCZ branded chips, not the M.tec chip like the ones in the link. Note that these are also TTD and not TMD coded chips.

Something real weird is going on, i bookmarked this page on komplett I think on Thursday, I checked on Friday and they said there was stocking scheduled for the 17th, but then the page went down, only to reappear two minutes later, with the added info that they were CH5. They also stated a price of 49 pounds for a 512 stick, the reason for me constantly checking cos i thought maybe komplett have clocked on and started increasing the price, but i now reckon they probably contacted their supplier and found out that the next lot wont be CH5. Maybe they took the updated page down cos they can’t confirm that the next lot are either 1) winbond or 2) winbond CH5??

Speaking of codes, I've copied from OC Forums some info pulled from Kingston Value Ram. The first set of numbers are off a 512MB stick which was purchased from Fry's and tested on the same P4 rig as the OCZ. Hit the same 255 at 2-2-2-6 with 3.6v and the second set of numbers was from a retail box at CC of 2x256 which I spotted but left at the store because of the high asking price. I was just interested in seeing if there were any locally and what info was on them so I could pass it along. The first KVR stick is pictured at OCF and has the name coding pattern as I've described below. Here is a link to that thread, see post #73 if you are interested in the picture of the KVR. It is not a great picture, but you can see the peculiar layout of the chip's coding.

Copy of my post at OCF (2x256 set):
******************************************
I found a set of 2x256 at a local Circuit City which match the pictures taken by Diablo except for some minor differences. I did not get them, again, because they were priced at $150 after sales tax for 2x256.
Note one item of interest. Usually the Kingston label is across the top and then the numbers below. These chips have the first set of numbers to the right of the Kingston label, so both the name "Kingston" and the first set of numbers are on the top. In many cases, the date is on the second line, and then the chip coding is on the third line. These chips have the coding on the left side of the 2nd row, which is actually across the bottom, then what appears to be the date, plus more coding to the right. All of the second group of numbers are across the bottom row of the chip.
The set I found was coded like this.
First row - label and numbers: KINGSTON 401137.05
then blank space with the circular Winbond "dimples" visible,
followed by the chip code & date: D3208DL5T-5 0416PT01

Speaking of codes, I've copied from OC Forums some info pulled from Kingston Value Ram. The first set of numbers are off a 512MB stick which was purchased from Fry's and tested on the same P4 rig as the OCZ. Hit the same 255 at 2-2-2-6 with 3.6v and the second set of numbers was from a retail box at CC of 2x256 which I spotted but left at the store because of the high asking price. I was just interested in seeing if there were any locally and what info was on them so I could pass it along. The first KVR stick is pictured at OCF and has the name coding pattern as I've described below. Here is a link to that thread, see post #73 if you are interested in the picture of the KVR. It is not a great picture, but you can see the peculiar layout of the chip's coding.

OK major update time:
Slapped the 2x 256 Twinmos (Mtec) into my Abit IS7-e/3.06 P4m rig in DC ( slot 1 & 3)
Also fitted the DDR booster in slot 2 (tight !! fit !!)
Ill let the picture do the talking...............
http://www.ricco.karoo.net/images/260_3.6v.jpg
This is at 3.6v (as shown by BIOS DDR booster shows 3.3v) , it just keeps going up.
Ill leave it to burn in for a little.
BUT this means that the booster dont work in my Neo2/A64 setup or this memory does not like my Winnie :confused:
well after looking at almost every store in Porto i finally found a 2x512 kit of Twinmos that have P/N finishing at AA4T, chips date finish at 4 and chip code at 50D (forgot to look the dimples), pcb looks to be BP tho only single sided (does that influence?)... but they aren't speed premium...
and till now we have only seen good results with the Speed Premium's modules, right?

I think you are right about Diablo's intentions.
Diablo's wording could have been clearer, but he did post the information from his sticks first, then says that they are like the picture except for the date.
Quote:
"As the pics of the IC is different on the date."
I added the emphasis.
It was just one of those things that happens when English is not your native language.
Added: Didn't take long for the egg to sell out its new stock of TM 512MB sticks. You think there might be some interest in these things? More fresh stock, better chance at Winbond UTT.

I really wonder how much speed binning is going on at the other place. So far it seems like everyone who has gotten Twinmos memory with these chips are very happy. And it also seems like NewEgg.com had/has stock that was strickly made with these magical chips. :D
The great thing is the price though. When Outpost.com cleared out thier Kingston BH-5 stock a few months ago and everyone went nuts they charged ~$40 a stick... now these new sticks are... <drumroll>... ~$40 a stick. :D Great deal and worth the "risk" in my book. :up:

The thing that makes this ram unique is that even though it will run 260 at 2-2-2-x, it won't do so without high voltage. Without high voltage it is just value-ram grade stuff. This means that the module makers will not be able to use it only in their high-end products because that market is limited. With Winbond having what appears to be a large capacity, or at least in excess of what Infineon is purchasing, and because it is cheap, it will make its way to much of the lower end stuff.
Overclockers everywhere delight in our new found toy. Winbond is still King!
And where are all of the OCZ guys? Probably hiding and ashamed of all of the misinformation that they were forced to put out (such as that these were not Winbond chips - Ok, they are M.tec made from Winbond blanks or that Winbond machines had been lost and no one knew how to make them, etc.). I don't blame those guys, they have jobs and as I've heard them say, non-disclosure agreements that keep them from talking openly about everything. I think it has hurt their image a little bit, though.

01-08-2005, 08:39 AM
No I dont think this little incident has hurt their image. Afterall, it is true that its modules that no one else had, until now. And yes they were just doing their job. What really hurt their image is their disapproval of Hipro's maximizer and some shoddy quality PSUs such as their new 600 Powerstream with many DOA's. What keeps them a float is their customer service.
mcnbns
01-08-2005, 08:42 AM
There will still be those who are loyal to OCZ and feel guilty about purchasing cheapo RAM with the same performance as OCZ's high-end stuff that. There will be those that feel ashamed to have any "value" component in their high-end gaming box. (It takes away from the "l33tness" factor, you know.) There will be those who think OCZ's product is superior (maybe because they said they speed bin, or maybe because a more expensive product MUST be better).
Nope, this hasn't hurt OCZ at all.

I couldn't agree more with that comment and as proof I offer up a copy of a portion of a post that I made over at OCForums earlier today about 9:30 am East Coast time.
"Even though some people have been miffed with OCZ about not disclosing the chips or about the hipro5 Maximizer...you've got to give them credit for discovering this little "attribute" of cheap Winbond UTT, don't you think?"
The M.tec/Winbond UTT chip would still be looked at by many as insignificant value ram chips without their discovery of its affinity for voltage.

Winbond UTT can under others like PSC be found on TwinMOS/M.tec - we still use both on M.tec so here i can´t guarantee anything...
All upcoming TwinMOS Speed Premium should have Winbond UTT - we call it CH-5 - former first version of Speed Premium has selectd PSC (review can be found here: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/TwinMOS/SpeedPremium/) and will never run like the Winbond based ones. Check out the "winbond dots" on the chip itself ;)
I will try to find out from which date we switched for WB UTT for the Speed Premium and tell ya asap (next week).

Hang on a sec, so your saying that you are labeling your winbond UTT as CH5, is that the reason why komplett have now after a long time bought back the CH5 winbond stock, also is this why some earlier members were hitting 250+ at 2,2,2,10 even thou they had CH5, why are you labeling UTT stock as CH5???

What you guys want to know?
Well, since you asked.
I do have a question. Is the fact that the Winbond chips scale well with voltage something that was known industry wide, but OCZ went with it and developed a product or was this news to you guys as well? Did you know before VX's release of the Winbond chips scaling properties?
OK, I have a second. There are guys here and across the web that are reporting great results with TM/M.tec chips that were purchased a couple of years ago. These chips have the physical marks similar to Winbond. Would these be relabeled bh-5/bh-6/ch-5 or are there other chips manufactured that have the same outside appearence as the Winbond? I ask because if the opportunity comes up to buy something with older dates (like on eBay), but with the same physical markings, it would be useful to know the answer to that question.
That is today's allotment of questions.

we didn´t know in first place - we are not OC hunters like OCZ and generally not deal with higher voltages...
I don´t think that a chip can be identified only by the package. You never know what will be inside if u look only at the chip itself without any additional information. But also here i will try to get more info about...
Of course there can be Winbond ICs under the "old" M.tec modules. For these we used everything cheap as it is our OEM brand.
thx tictac ;) nice place here
BTW: i have been here before starting for TwinMOS - but since July 2003 they got me now ;)
we are not labeling anything else than TwinMOS and M.tec
we are calling the Winbond UTT internally CH-5 nothing more...
Could some one give me info regarding the following cos i dnt understnad something:
Back in late 2002 i bought 1 gig of twinmoss winbond from komplett, at the time BH5 was not as popular, and many people did not know about them. A week later i boguht some more and got CH5, i rmbr not likning the ch5 cos it wouldnt move above 215 at 3.0v, but for some reaosn the BH5 scaled to 227 in my abit NF7-S. What i find interesting is shortly after winbond stopped producing BH5, people claimed that they had been boguht out, or gone bust, machines and designs templates lost???. So if they stopped producuing BH5, how have komplett now got new stock of CH5 when winbond have stopped trading. Who is producing the new CH5???
I know from a fact that after all the BH5 crazy started hitting the forums, i wanted more but komplett had totally stopped selling winbond twinmoss modules. So where are komplett getting these CH5 from???
**Edit also komplett start selling Ch5, after VX are released and people starting finding out that they contain winbond UTT chips...

but things can change quite fast these days...
BTW: TwinMOS/M.tec with AA4T @ the end of P/N should have Winbond UTT
AA = 0,13um
4 = Winbond
also the TwinMOS Speed Premium which will have better PCB than M.tec with 4 in the code should be the modules to go for ;)

one more question Alonso:
chip's wise we are (imho) almost done: 2 dimples, TMD...50D or 44D, date finishing at 4 from week >46.
now pcb wise is there any diference between, for example, Speed Premium and the usual Dual Channel kits? (considering they have the same chips on them)
are the pcb's the same for every kind of UTT sticks? or should we focus on some particular Twinmos product with some special BP pcb? maybe an particular pcb revision?

What is the availablity on these UTT chips? Is this something we need to stock up on like it was with BH5/BH6? Or is Winbond/Infineon Able to crank out as many of these chips as the the market demands?

I really wonder how much speed binning is going on at the other place. So far it seems like everyone who has gotten Twinmos memory with these chips are very happy. And it also seems like NewEgg.com had/has stock that was strickly made with these magical chips. :D
The great thing is the price though. When Outpost.com cleared out thier Kingston BH-5 stock a few months ago and everyone went nuts they charged ~$40 a stick... now these new sticks are... <drumroll>... ~$40 a stick. :D Great deal and worth the "risk" in my book. :up:
Same as im thinking... cant miss this oportunity like I did with the Oupost.com KHX3200 ;)

@ enok
send a mail to info@twinmos.de and i will forward your question to the right people ;)
the pcb info is also hidden in the code.
for example we takt the code from here again: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/TwinMOS/SpeedPremium/images/Frontbeide_big2.jpg
M2G9J16A0A
the 0 between the last two A stands for B6U808, 6 layer PCB
while the M.tec comes in A8A where the 8 is KO6633, 6 layer PCB
i have no idea about quantities and production of winbond/infini... we are a module house - no chip producer - but it looks like there are a lot ;)

I wouldn't buy from a seller who doesn't really have a clue what he's selling. At least not from one, as dumb as this. :stick: :p:
That pic is just my attempt at humor...he lists it as "gently" used Kingston 512MB PC3200, but is selling a TwinMOS stick of PC133 in a KVR box.
Now you know why there is that old saying "Buyer Beware".
I was just trying to lighten up the mood. :)

Hmmm i guess my next set of ram will be twinmoss speed premiums from Newegg.

Hey Alonso,
Any clue whether the new stock that Newegg is getting will be WInbond UTT chips?
Bluebeard
01-08-2005, 12:48 PM
i have no idea - send them a mail asking for the product code
but i believe they will be utt cause earlier Speed Premium with PSC were limited
i am not sure if Speed Premium with UTT have BP PCB - afaik tictac´s are not BP, right? the ones tested on techpowerup have BP PCB. Have to doublecheck new shipments next week...
But UTT and BP on Speed Premium would be nice i guess ;)

I have 2x512 sticks of Speed Premium on order, along with my Athlon64 upgrade...
I will do some testing on my (hopefully back from RMA) NFII LPB, Shuttle AN35NU, and the new Neo2 Plat...
I will also take some good pics of the memory and place em up for exam...
Alonso : you're from DE ? Me from Slovenija....so almost neighbours...which town are you from ? I might come to you and steal all production of UTT :D
what gets me is that ocz speedbins the ram to 240 2-2-2. i think they should go to 250 or 260 at those same timings, most everybody in this thread with confirmed winbond UTT has been getting over 240 2-2-2 at anywhere from 3.2 to 3.4 volts. so if they want to charge that much extra for their speedbinning i say maybe they should guarantee 250 or 260, probably 250 2-2-2 3.4V.

This is maybe confusing, but I thought it might be useful,
About 1,5 years ago a bought a 40 GB Maxtor IDE with 2 MB cache, on the pcb of de harddrive there's a Winbond BH-6 chip (cache I think).
Now just a couple of day's ago a friend of mine bought a new Maxtor harddrive, I believe it was a 160 GB s-ata with 8 MB cache, on the pcb of the new harddrive was also a Winbond chip, DH-6.
Should this new Winbond chip been called DH-(4,4)/5/6?
Or am I now just talking stupid?

no winbond isnt allowed to put its name on these chips. thats probably some SDRAM or so?

I called newegg last Thursday (01-06-05), right after the new stock was released and asked if that info could be emailed to me and was told that they have 7 distribution centers and have no way of knowing which one has what. I tried explaining that they had sold everything out and this was new inventory at all W/H but it was still a no go. I can't hurt for some one else to try, though.
Did tictac order Speed Premiums or the regular 512 sticks? I do seem to recall that he got the AADT parts # and not the AA4T.

no its not. if your finding "golden sticks" it could get really expensive!
plus you could sell the bad stolen ones and make money :p:

esdee commented that the reviewer claimed they did not overclock very well and wouldn't he be surprised to find out just how well they do (with the UTT chips, of course). I was just stating that he should already know, because he has posted in this thread.
Were you simply stating that since //mAr's sticks were not the UTT, his conclusions were correct with respect to the sticks he reviewed and the results that the UTT chips have been getting here and elsewhere are not relevant to his review of the AADT version?
I would agree with that, if that was your point.
i'm pretty sure that is what he said/meant.

Ther is only standart Twinmos and Twister 433-466-533 models. :rolleyes:
I would like to see speedpremium and if I'm not wrong there was a twisterpro series too.

well... i have almost no power in sales so i can´t answer you that question... normally it´s all a question of demand
officially the 433/466/500 which were wlcsp are end of life - replaced by TwiSTER DDR533 and new DDR400 TwiSTER pro with TCCD
TwinMOS Speed Premium and TwiSTER pro are very new products on the market and i believe it just will take some time...

I have a simple question. Im new to xtremely ocing ram i was wondering if u guys use extreme methods of cooling or just have a properly air cooled case. So say if i put 3.2-3.4 volts vidimm with good air cooling will it damage these ch-5 twinmos premium.
Thanks Grey Fox

If you look back through posts, I listed Tekheads stock that I had in my hands as I had a chance to look through all the twinmoss & Adata they had. But they were out of 256 3200 sticks, so they might get the right ones in the next stock.
They did have some 512 sticks, give them a call.

Hello
changing my old kingston value i saw two holes in the chips (http://img29.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img29&image=dscf00133gi.jpg) :banana: this means that they take to Chips winbond, but my question is, is utt or can be bh/ch since these memories are old already... the problem is that single I modulate has them :confused:

Edit: forgot to me, these have been working to cas3, that is not very normal? :confused: it can be because the other dimm was not equal?
