G.skill has intoduced new memory, for the low-level segment. It's not for the die-hard overclocking scene, so don't expect high overclockresults :)

specifications (http://www.gskill.com/pc3200-2-3-3-6-dc.html)

Here are my testresults on the low level 1gb (2x512DC) kit of G.skill.

With prime95 I can set higher speeds to run stable then the following maximum errorfree memtest-runs.

Result with cl2.5 timings:

You can also see, that this memory is running best with a vdimm of 2.65-2.70 volt.

At stocklatencies, this memory has got a maximum overclock of 18 mhz (+9%):

This memory is pure a low-level product from G.skill, but can rise to ddr500 and above on cl2.5. When you are overclocking with this memory, it is very important to have a good airflow in your case:

This memory was tested on the following system:

Motherboard: MSI K8N Neo2 Pl. k0411 (korean nf3 week46)
Cpu: Amd64 winchester 3500+
PSU: Tagan 480watt
Cooing: Air at the memory, watercooling at cpu

Timings are 2-3-3-6? Looks familiar... you can't try bumping the voltage at all? Think VX or UTT (and their low prices as well).

No its def. not Winbond.

The markerings are also different.

Sorry to say but this stuff has got to be real cheap to justify it's low performance. :(

Is Gskill introducing this new RAM because TCCD has come to it's end of live?

Why is all good RAM so short lived? :confused:

This is just a product for the low-level market. It isn't high-performance memory and has nothing to do with their Tccd-products. I don't know untill when G.Skill will produce dimms with the samsung tccd-chips, and what their future-plans are.
