Anyone here use Geil memory??

[Firelord-OCHW]

I ask because I can get my mits on the following: -

Geil® 1.0GB PC3500 Dual Channel DDR Kit (2x512MB) 433MHz (4.5ns Cas 2 6-3-3 1T) +copper heat spreader

for £150 exc VAT compared to the £169 exc VAT for a the Corsair TwinX PC3200 1GB.

I would like a GB of RAM for uni as I cam going to be doing Computer Science so I want as much RAM as possible for compiling etc :)

Be paired with the new Springdale Shuttle and either 2.6GHz/2.8GHz/3.0GHz 800FSB PIV (which ever works most cost effective) processor

I'm running the GeIL 3700 Platinum 512 x 2 @427 (5/4) 2,5,3,2.... I expect soon to run even tighter. I wouldn't trade these for any other memory at this point. :p:

[saaya]

427? you have 3700 memory, its supposed to run at least 433mhz! have you tried to get it higher yet?

I've always heard nothing but bad about geil, but their golden dragon pc3500 sure does look nice :D

[gobbo]

OCZ Gold 3700 looks damn fine memory too!

But TwinMOS PC3700 also looks damn fine and cheep as chips too!

[Firelord-OCHW]

Cool well I think i'll get that then :)

Yes, me :)
I'm running it @2,9V on my abit nf7-s. And it does 230mhz, next vacation i'll do a Vmod. So then i'll check it @3V (or higher). I don't know what's holding me back, it could also be the chipset. So i'll also do a Vdimm mod and check that out :) (it are two 512 sticks in dual channel)

I've got a pretty bad 3.0/800...It won't go beyond 3.992Ghz stable! Still the memory at that speed is 3203/3148 unbuffered...so it's ok for now! :)

P4 2.4c Vapochill PE, i keep it @ 300fsb 5:4, Max it will go is 315 fsb with a Abit IS7-e mb. 2 sticks of 3500 platinum geil
2 wd raptors. I can hit 6400 max in sisoft. board Vmem modded. only using 2.95 volts though to the memory. 9700 pro with swiftech MCW-50t, stock 80 watt pelt, 6x6 radiator for the pelt, mounted in the top back of the vapo.

Gonna try a IC7 in it tuesday when the board comes.

I just picked up 2 sticks of kingston hyperx 3500 512's from Bestbuy $99 each. wont do over 220fsb 1:1. not happy with it.

Going in a customers computer and i figured $250 for 1 gig of memory for it so i still made out. no loss.
