Ok now these 3 pairs of ram are diffferent in timmings. My question tho is whats the real difference in the HX and the ZX models.

The ZX is listed as the G.skill Extreme ram but the 1GB kits are listed with 2-3-3-6 timmings, yet the 2x1gb sticks are listed as 2-3-2-6 timmings.

The HX series is listed as just G.skill but they have timmings of 2-3-2-6 for the 1gb stick and the 2gb sticks.

Now ima little confused. Why do you list the 1gb stick for the ZX ram as 2-3-3-6, but the 2x1gb sticks as 2-3-2-6..


Whats the difference between these 2 pairs besides the $50 price tag. I also noticed there listed with voltage differences also.

2GBHX is using infineon CE-6 and test under DDR500 3-3-2-5 while they only rated at DDR400 2-3-2-6

2GBHX DDR500 is not guarantee!
it rated at DDR400 but while it tested on 500


even for other PC4000 rated memory is around 280~330

Hmm kinda disapointing this ram went down the drain, thx for youre help guess ill look @ other brands, since you say it doesnt do well anymore.

The ZX i mean. If im gonna spend $250 on the HX i might as well buy a pc4000 brand
