Corsair XMS3200...2 x 256 or 1 x 512 [Archive]

mdzcpa,

I have seen 1 post where excellent performance was achieved with a 512 of xms 3200, but I don't remember who or where. My experience with 512 sticks has been similar to yours. I tried a 512 Mushkin and returned it for a 256. I have stuck with 1... 256 rather than 2 because I see a performance hit with 2. I also would like to run 512 in my main rig as I use it for video encoding and other intense applications. One stick of 256 is more than enough in my other machines. If anyone has direct experience with a 512 stick of XMS, I would also like to know what kind of performance you got?

Thanks:D

could've been me... 512mb corsair xms3200c2 platinum edition, winbond 6ns chips. Does 200fsb full aggressive 1T no bother, probably would happily do 250fsb at lower cas but my board tears too much... i have no complaints at all about this ram, and it's selling by the bucket-load...

benches a bit low but again, probably down to my epox 8k5a3+, which appears to be lower on bandwidth than it's predecessor, the 8k3a+ :(

just waiting for my KD7 to arrive next week!

2 sticks will run slower, especially on an amd system (i dont know about intel) even at IDENTICAL timings and speeds than 1 stick, because the memory controllers cannot handle 2 sticks as fast, so you will see a hit (and a reasonably big one, i lost 10fps in q3) just by using 2 sticks over 1.

Until now I would say 1x512 will reduce ur chances of buying 2x256 and ending up with 1 crap stick that you cant use because its a lot slower than the other.

What people should be looking at now is 2 sticks and nothing else, because dual channel chipsets are coming soon and they will need 2 sticks to get the performance that dual channel offers, so get 2 sticks now, and you wont have to dump your 1x512 stick when dual channel boards are out. Unless your not wanting a dual channel board obviously.

nforce2 is due out early october.

Dump your stick now and get 2x256meg?

So cant I use 2x512meg sticks in dual ddr?

I thought i could?

Creative,

I guess he meant to stay at 512, you would have to get 2 265 sticks? :confused: Or to buy 2 256s instead of 1... 512?

I don't know of any reason you can'y use more than 1... 512 .

I'd go with the 2 x 256mb as well, for dual channel and just because from what I've heard they overclock higher.

I have tried the following corsair kombination:

1 X 256 PC 2400
2 x 256 PC 2400
1 x 256 PC 2700
2 x 256 PC2700
1 x 256 PC3000
2 x 256 PC3000
1 x 256 PC3200 v1.1
1 x 512 PC3200 v1.1
1 x 512 PC3200 v 2.1
2 x 512 PC3200 v 2.1

The best:
1x256 PC 3000 and 1x256 PC3200 v 1.1 or 1x512 PC3200 v1.1
at high volt: 3.0-3.1V
or
1x512 PC3200 v 2.1 at low volt 2.8V

*One stick are better than 2 (ca 10 FSB)

*There are no differens between c/o on 256 or 512 (corsair)

*The cooling can bee better with cobberplates glued on than the termotape on the alucoolers (ca 2-4 FSB)

Well theres nothing stopping you getting 2x512, but your forgetting that single 256 sticks clock higher than single 512 sticks, so 2x256 will clock higher than 2x512. Also nobody actually needs 1gb of ram (hell I run XP with NO page file using 512mb and have no problems playing games for hours at the same time as having several other progs open) so it would be a waste of money to buy 2x512 just so you can have 1x512 now instead of 2x256 for the few weeks until the nforce2 or other dual channel is out.

We also dont know what kind of memory clocks these new dual channel boards will allow. Its quite possible that nothing will go over say 180 (random figure) in which case rushing out now and buying the 2 most expensive highest clocking modules you can get, may turn out to be a waste of these new boards will not get the most out of the memory. Even at 180 (assuming it will even go that high) its still going to be the fastest you can get and beat any single channel board, but you may have wasted a whole lotta money on sticks that might not get used to their full potential. Look at those SiS boards, great bandwidth but they just wont go over a certain speed (I think it was 165?).

Of course if there is that sorta hardware limit on how high sticks will go, then there wont be any difference between 2x256 and 2x512 because all of them will be able to reach the hardware limit (180 in this example). If its like current VIA boards, i.e. KX7 then the only limit will be how high the memory will go and 2x256 should clock a bit better than 2x512.

Which is why Ill keep my 2 crappy 256mb DTL's until these boards are out and we know what they can do. It may turn out my 2 dtl's are enuff to get the most out of the boards anyway.

Of course I could be talking crap, but Im gonna wait 3 weeks and find out :p

Thanks for the input guys:)

I decided to go for 1 x 512 stick this time. If I do go the dual channel route I may just pick up another 512 stick. I'll be sure to report back how well the Corsair 512 PC3200 v 2.1 stick does.

So should I sell my 512 xms3000 stick now that does 220 2-6-3-3 and 234 2.5-7-3-3 now?

Sorry for the mundane questions, just im not very good at making decisions with ram, mainly cpus and vid cards :D

The Corsair XMS 512,s are faster then the 256,s .there site at Corsair will give you all the correct settings for any module that you might have.I know this because thats the best memory to overclock,each XMS is separatly tested to make sure it passes, [XMS] which stands for extreme memory speed and its the only memory I use, thats how I know so much about Corsair Memory. check it out .the site will tell you how to setup each module,cas,ras,delay,everything you would like to know about your question.--------- http://www.corsairmicro.com/

09-26-2002, 05:01 PM

I visited the site in your link and there was nothing that said anything about the 512 being any faster than the 256. In fact they list the 2 different sizes of memory as having identical timings
2-3-3-6-T1

Do you have any other documentation to show that the 512's are faster. I and others, haven't found this to be the case.

09-26-2002, 07:16 PM

TheDude, I think ill keep it for now. It just feels like a good stick and I dont want to let go of it too easilly :D

If it is for sale in the next week or 2, should I drop u a line?.....Im on the other side of the world though :(

I was mostly kidding...I would keep it if I were you....sounds like a good stick to me. Better yet..I will come and get it! lol Your country is on the Top 3 places to visit for me, always wanted to see it. My Bro-in-law just got back from there and he loved it...even talked about moving!:D

The 512 & 256 Corsair Modules are rated at exactly the same specs. From testing I have found this 512Mb stick to be better than my previous 256Mb stick, but that also includes changing from c2.5 to c2, so can't give anything other than that...

Obviously you dont know so much about corsair memory because anyone with reasonable knowledge of ANY memory will tell you, less is faster. This is the same reason 64mb graphics cards memory will clock higher and the reason almost everyone that overclocks their memory (opp, ddtung, icee, me, etc etc) uses 256 and not 512.

Corsair website does not state the 512 are faster, infact it states the opposite. And until recently they only listed the 3200 512mb modules as being cas2.5, but they have always listed the 3200 256mb modules as being cas2. Now they both come in cas2 flavour but corsair do not guarantee you can use 2x512mb at cas2, whereas you can use 2x256mb at cas2, because 256mb modules will almost always clock higher, which is why I suggested getting 2x256 and not 2x512 as your much more likely to get 2 nice clocking 256 modules than you are 2x512.

Obviously there comes a time when there will be no difference between a 512mb module and a 256 module because the technology will progress to a stage where they can produce 512mb modules just as reliably as 256, but that time isnt quite yet.

As for marci's 512 being better than his 256, the 256 was old crappy samsung, the 512 I assume is the new winbond cas2 chips, which explains it.

09-27-2002, 05:29 AM

PPL really shouldn't be so quick to put others down...

Obviously you dont know so much about corsair memory because anyone with reasonable knowledge of ANY memory will tell you, less is faster ...to a new poster we should really be a bit more friendly in our corrections of their comments etc... but anyhoo....

Corsair still do not list the Platinum Edition 3200, which runs at full aggresive Cas settings on the Epox boards, but knowing Epox anything would achieve this more or less (see my review HERE (http://www.over-clock.co.uk/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi?;act=ST;f=20;t=18))

Yes, the 512c2 stuff is Winbond 6ns... am going to be testing the 256 version of the same stuff l8r this weekend... hopefully on a new Abit board (KD7-Raid arrives monday... hopefully vmods'll be same as for KX7)

Ewok

09-27-2002, 07:06 AM

If I was putting others down, trust me they would know about it. I tend to get a little mad when people claim to know something when they clearly dont, especially when its their first post on a forum, so I tend to get quite short with them.

You should see higher speeds with the 256, but I guess it is possible these days to get a good 512 stick that will beat a bad 256 stick but still unlikely I imagine.

A few points.

First, I'm not so sure that 256 sticks overclock better than 512 sticks hands down anymore. In fact, I have seen quite a large number of reports of the newer Corsair XMS 3200 C2 512 sticks performing equally well as the 256 sticks using the same Windbond chips. Hence the reason for my original post. I clearly stated that I understood that the "rule of thumb" about 256 sticks usually OCing better, but it seems that times may very well have changed at this point.

Second, if you look closely at the original post, you will see that the requirement for the system I'm building is 512 of memory. So the choice was 2 x 256 vs. 1 x 512 (not 2 x 512). And, as we all know, there is a definite hit to overclockability when running more than 1 stick. So the question is...will 1 stick of XMS 3200 512 C2 OC better than 2 x 256 XMS 3200 C2. This is a much tougher question.

EDIT...BTW, I'm not getting involved in the flame fest here, but I do beleive I've seen some recent benches comparing 2 256 sticks and 1 512 stick (with the same modules on each), and did find, in fact, that the 512 single stick was a tic quicker. It had to do with the latencies involved with the memory controller and the synchronization of two DIMMs. However, I do beleive the speed difference was negligible.

TheDude

09-27-2002, 01:50 PM

mdzcpa,

Hopefully you got this back on track again by restating your original question. I only spoke from my own somewhat limited experiences with this. I have also read things that make me wonder if the old 1 is better rule still applies. Since I have only ran either 1, 512 or 2, 256s, I really can't say. My 1, 256 ran best,,followed by the 2 sticks of 256 and the 1, 512 came in last as far as performance.

Wish we could try it and see. I have a c2 256 stick of Corsair 3200....but we would either all have to have the same hardware or 1 person have all 3 sticks of ram to test it. Someone must have done this already somewhere? Anyone know? Wish I could afford a 512 and another 256 right now.:mad:

Well.....let's put things "straight"......The Corsair XMS3200 C2 is DEFFINATELY the FASTEST memory module in the world...... :D

It can run at 250MHz(500MHz DDR) with Cas 2,5 - 2 - 3 - 7 T2 STABLE(faulsefree) for the time been and STILL climbing UP.....Best bench is at 253MHz(506MHz DDR) with Cas 2,5 - 2 - 3 - 7 T2.....(so far....boots into Windows at 254MHz(508MHz DDR)....not done yet)

Can run EVERYTHING at 250MHz(500MHz DDR) at Cas 2 - 2 - 3 - 7 T2...except 3DMark2001SE witch must put the timings at Cas 2,5 -2 - 3 -7 T2 to do it.....

FINALLY

1. ONE module is better than two in Overclocking.....

2. If you have two modules on , then ONE of them is ALWAYS better than the other....(so the worst one won't let you to "climb" higher...)

3. Many times on dual board modules(the 512Mb ones) , the one side modules happens to be the same part number , the same day-week-year and the other side to be different(other day week - same year)......In these ocasions the oveclockability of these memory modules is "worst" because if the "one side" is slower than the other then the whole memory module won't let you take it hihger.....

I hope I was "clear" enough of my explanations..... :D

And finally I think that this is the FASTEST memory module in the world(for the time been) right now.....Isn't it???...

512Mb Corsair XMS3200 C2 at Cas 2,5 - 2 - 3 - 7 T2.....

As a rule of thumb I have usually avoided the 512 density sticks as they didn't seem to OC as well as the 256 sticks in general. Has this changed?

mdzcpa,
I have a very good experience with Corsair 512 stick, in fact I have 2 sticks :cool:

The sticks a Corsair XM3200 v.2.1.

Can run up 225 - 450 DDR with 3.4 memory ratio, with 2-7-2-3 and just 2.8v

But I find they are quite sensible to PSU variation - only work well a very high speed after I regulate the pots on my Antec 412 PSU to 5.12 and 12.2v

Yawn, so what this guy is saying is that Corsair XMS3200 C2 PLatinum, based on Winbond 6ns chips, benches faster than Winbond 5ns... surely Winbond 5ns or any ram manufacturers making 4ns chips would be the fastest memory in the world. I won't profess to states Corsair's being the fastest at all... unless I have tested EVERY stick of 512Mb ram in the world, I cannot state this claim. I can state it is currently the fastest ram I personally have ever used, but find it hard to beleive it is the fastest with it being based on 6ns chips and not 5ns (which as we all know is definitely readily available around the world)

Not like I'm one to provoke or anythin ;)
