All i can say is this ram rocks for 2GB . It is a must for playing BF2 and tomorrows games if you want no lag. Here is some preliminary testing and screenshots.
Stay tuned more to come!

Whats the max voltage i can put in these sticks?
right now im at 2.8 volts however my superpi is getting a "Not exact in round error"
at 12x283 3.4 gighertz
The weird thing is i get no errors on memtest #5 in 2 passess. Havent seen a error yet
stable in windows /aquamark run and benching .
Will try some BF2 soon

Yeah LOL
I was just to run BF2 for the last 30min but i guess the EA ranked server is hacked and is down. I will run memtest for 30 passes soon . Before i do it what is the max volts you can put in this ram.
I am going to try 283FSB X12 multi

Nice! 285 would be great if it's still windows stable. Can I ask when and where you got these? I just picked up the last 2 sticks Newegg had (they were off the site over the weekend until sometime today) so hopefully I will have some decent results. :toast:

Sure it won't win any world records, it just does everything smooth as butter. :cool:

This is the old Ballistix Tracer. From what i understand tracer is only ddr2 now.
They are not making the Tracer series for 2gb kits anymore
I wrote them back asking if the new kit he was sending was going to be tracer version with leds and got this response:
thanks for responding.
1. it is a newer version. but as you can see it is the same spec.
2. no tracer series with LED in pc4000. tracer series pushed up to DDR2.
they are not making pc4000 ballistix tracer with LED beyond the size of
512mb (1gb kit) and that too when they are gone, they are gone, being older
version. means they are not making 2gb kit tracer series with LED. however
they are making it in DDR2.
So I guess if you have tracers and have to rma them they will send you non tracers heh.
Unrealcpu
07-26-2005, 11:53 AM
Yes these are at 1T dual channel ram. 2x1gb balistix tracers
I too got the last 2 sticks from newegg this past thursday for $178 bucks
Here is 12x283 HT 3.4 gighertz memtest #5 for 20 min
Perfectly stable and could go for more but i am going to wait awhile since the room im in is kinda hot and it doesnt have good AC.
My 4x512 gskil GH ram at 2T didnt do 200fsb 1/1 and wasnt stable at all using that ratio .. currently being rmaed.
Here is a update

Are you able to figure out what settings/timings give you the best bandwith at 1T? Also what voltage at 283?
Would they run 295htt 1T at 3-4-3 or 3-4-4?

keep in mind that many people report that less voltage = better. don't automatically assume it's gonna like a lot like the rest of the micron chips :p: :D

I also would like one of you ballistix guys that have tweaked to share your timings! Oh well, one could hope. :p Seemed to gain some MHz tweaking some stuff back with the TCCD, drive strength and what have you.
And yeah, we'll just assume not impressed's missed the gig sticks, or don't realize that CAS2 means nothing. Ballistix guys are getting 2*512 TCCD-esque MHz results out of 1 gig sticks (Only 2.5-3-3 vrs. 3-3-3), and keep the 1T in a 2 gig config... Sounds a bore to me! :p

However if you can pass mem test 5 for 20 min with no errors you should be fine.

Ive posted my settings in the 2GB OC thread. For the #1 spot @ 291 3-3-3-8 1T 2.85v i used Bios 704-2 Load optimized defaults and only changed the voltages and the tref to 0780. Thats it. No other changes. I've always left drive strengths on auto. I probably didn't need the 2.85v

Getting HIGH HTT with 1gig sticks is very dependent on your A64 memory controller and also core temps.
IMO with your FX you should be able to do very well especailly with phase change.
I can run my ballistix at 285mhz pi32 stable with the 9x multi but using 10x I can only get 275mhz or so PI32 stable regardless of timmings. It's just my memory controller crapping out I'm sure due to the fact I have to run 1.7Vcore or more to get 2800mhz stable and the temps are in the high 40's.
Some Winnies are having a real tough time with anything above 250mhz and 1gig sticks

I took my spreaders off and didn't notice any any change in OC. I personally don't care for heat spreaders, I don't think they really help cool the ram and in most cases probably hurt.

I tell ya this, there is no going back once you have played with an X2. Everything seems so much faster and so smooth. I'll probably grab one too to play with on my gaming rig and LS. I'm a little disapointed with the OC on my SD, was hopeing for 3.2-3.3ghz and it seems to be toping out around 3120 or so.

that's true, but you really do have to get into the mindset of performance over highest possible speed. Same with 2gb vs 1 gb ram at higher htt. Takes a bit of a mental adjustment when you are used to going for 300HTT+ and 3ghz+ cpu speeds.

I will be buying a x2 4800+ once my distributor gets them in stock , its been forever.
I will be paying 1005 dollars with free shipping and the option to return with no restocking fee. I will be selling my FX55. I think running an x2 at 3.2-3.3 gighertz will be more of an enjoyable experience then my FX55 at 3.42 gighertz even if gamming. I miss my old intel days in multitasking

Got my new version 2gb kit from mmdus.com today and flashed to 704-2 using nugzos settings and am 8 passes memtest #8 stable at 280x10 3-3-3-8 :D . my SD 4000+ maxed out at 2.85ghz-2.9ghz with redline 4000 so im completely happy right now with this memory and this is straight out the box lol. Mabey I can hit 3ghz cause of the relaxed timings these use :) The memcontroller is not the best on my chip though..

I tell ya this, there is no going back once you have played with an X2. Everything seems so much faster and so smooth. I'll probably grab one too to play with on my gaming rig and LS. I'm a little disapointed with the OC on my SD, was hopeing for 3.2-3.3ghz and it seems to be toping out around 3120 or so.
Ordered 4200 X2 today $555 from teh egg. :banana: :toast:

I dont have a X2 cpu and my computer is fully stable at 12x 283FSB
i just got done playing BF2 for 2 hours :). I am sure i might be able to tweak the settings too but im not sure where to start.

What do you mean when u say new version? if its tracer it's not the new version. Crucial isnt making tracer in ddr1 anymore. If its tracer its the old version.

LOL no the crucial doesnt have issues with super pi. If your computer CAN'T complete it then its not running properly. I understand that u can play bf2 for hours. That alone does not constitute stability. your computer is not 100% stable if it cant run super pi 32m. I gaurantee you that you cant run hours of prime95 either at those settings. It's your computer and you can run it how u wish, its just not as stable as it could be.

LOL
I dont determine my overall stability over a 32m super PI. However i do consider it stable if i can pass memtest with no errors for 15 passes and pass super pi 1M. I also consider 3dgamming and encoding a stability test also. If i can encode dvds no problem and play BF2 for 3 hours , then i am satisfied.
I can do all this at 283HT 12X multi ! :) I am perfectly happy with my computer and with balistix ram its running like a champ in BF2 at 283 HT 12x multi or 3390 mhz.
I get your point that my computer and like 3 others in this thread arent 32m stable however anybody that has a huge overclock will never be completely stable and i have not had any reboots or any symptoms of unstability.
Yeah prime 95 fails , so what? Yeah 32m fails? So what? Like i said earlier and i belive everyone will agree that if you can play 3d games/encode dvds/ bench 3d mark/aquamark or surf the net/ with no reboots or blue screens for hours its perfectly stable. This is a stable system to me , i dont care about 32M SuperPI .
I do care about aquamark3d/3dmark2001-2003/super PI 1M.
Well im off to play some BF2 at 283HT 12x multi hhahahaahah

I've settled for 260x11 with my Ballistix, I don't think my memory controller is up to running 280mhz with them at anything other than 9x multi. I get errors when my cpu temps get above 48c

Truth be known your system could probably pass the questioned benchmarks and stability tests. That's if u had the brain and the know how to properly set it up. All the info has been handed to you and yet you still cant pass. Looks like your the only "moron" around here. The next time you want to call me a moron, look at who is #1 on the database. Ive been looking for you on there, guess u cant get stable long enough to complete the requirements. Oh well, good luck and dont fry your rig with your 12*283 unstable setup. :nono:

No more tracers :( I got the pair from mmdus.com and they o/c the same but no led's. This memory is probably the best memory i've ever worked with. It hasnt given me any crap since I put them in my system!

. your computer is not 100% stable if it cant run super pi 32m.
lol, well windows itself is very far from 100% stable, so I don't thin k there is such a thing as 100% stable. In any case the fact that we can run 2gigs of ram at 280-295 at 1T is simply incredible and I think as time goes on will become the standard expecially when Vista takes hold.

If the 2gig database is going to be fair, it should be ranked also in order of main timings, i.e. 3-4-4- is going to be different than 3-3-3 clocks etc.

He's saying there should be seperate sections for different timings, much like in the TCCD overclocking database 2.5-4-3-X and 2.5-3-3-X are seperated.

Couse Im having problem with mine at 270MHz with 3-3-8-3, with 2.8/2.9/3.0V.. Its far from stable. But with 166 I gues it would be a totaly different story..

But these pair L503 I think, whont go higher with more voltage.. Its going fine with 285 2.7V but I whont be able to score higher like 295, with this bios or bad settings. Or if its just the sticks.. (well not that high, crashed with these settings. So I guess 280 with 2.7 will do for the moment)
What do you people think?
