best DDR2 for Yonah

[kiwi]

Not really familiar with DDR2 but Yonah is coming and I would like to get the best low timings ddr2 for it. Could be both 2x1GB and 2x512MB kits. I guess yonah will do 300fsb or so. Can I expect 3-2-2-6?

I know corsair 5400UL and 8000UL are good and they will do 3-2-2-6, right?

Anything else better, cheaper?

This will depend on the chipset and motherboard you're using as well. Since Yonah is primarily a laptop-based chip, the board will have to have a lot of overclocking options in order to even allow you to spec the latencies and voltages, so do a lot of research there.

As for the modules, our 5400 ULs and 8000ULs are hard to make right now due to the discontinuation of the IC they use. There are still a few on the market and in backlogs, and they'll do low latency. Since the 5400 ULs were originally specced at 3-2-2-8 at 675 Mhz at 2.1V, I imagine they'll do it at 600 Mhz pretty easily.

The 8000 UL and the 5400 UL use the same IC, they're just screened differently.

I would check the D9 sticky and start hunting for those chips used. Probably your best bet to get them for a good price is from someone who doesn't know what they. I just picked up a set for $95 becuase the person that was selling didn't realize that it was D9.

Whoa, doesn't that person have other sets as well? :eek:

good deal!

Most of the low timing stuff is gone and probably will never come back. Most of the new micron and others are based of a design similar to Micron's C die. ie high speed, low voltage mid timings (4s).

Ok, got myself corsair 8000UL :D Will I be able to run 4x512MB if I get another set of D9 chips? Could be another brand/model though. The board will most likely be AOpen i975Xa-YDG. I hope 975 chipset does not have probs running 4 sticks.

Yes you will be able to run 4 sticks.

Yes you will be able to run 4 sticks.
Does that have any disadvantages? Like 2T @ socket 939? Or less overclockability?
