Typo or binned TCCD/TCC5? :confused:
maybe some old school 'cream' BH-5, maybe

The sticker seems to say 2-2-2-6 btw, so the timings aren't a typo.
NajZ, no winbond chip can do those timings with that low of voltage.

im confused too. If they sold it as 1x 512I would buy it. But dont have enough for 2.

I have read a few good reviews on their lower specced ram (cas 2.5 ddr 400). Wasnt there a guy a few weeks ago asking for input on ram. IIRC he was from gigaram :confused:

If I recall correctly, there was a recent thread from a guy asking for opinions on chips. This guy asked what was an ideal latency and etc. as he needed data for a certain company on what kind of performance ocing chips ocers want. This company was Gigaram.
Maybe this is one of the current development, but i doubt it.

hmmm most likely new bh5 id say...
too cheap for tcc5/tccd i think... hmmm could be possible as well though
or it could be micron memory? hmmm

According to gigaram website, I can't find this Ram there. The closest match is: GR1DD8T-K1GB/466/2.5 PC-3700 1GB KIT 2.5-4-4-7 32MX8 2.6V 1.20 inch NA .
Probably an old batch of old good BH-5 sticks ?

2.5v for 433 is insane tho for bh5, I would expect AT LEAST 3+ for bh5

05-23-2005, 06:24 PM
my twinmos 3700 (DDR466) based on good old bad4ss bh5 is rated for 233mhz 2.5-3-3 with 2.7v i think... 216mhz/DDR433 2-2-2 with 2.5v sounds weird...

05-23-2005, 07:07 PM
would be nice they are cheap if they have that tipe of speed.
p.d. i also remember the guy asking fot advises, he said that 300mhz 2-2-2-5 at any volt would be insane, so i dont think that memo is labeled correctly, he also said they would make the chips maybe is a new awsome chip.
he said 250 2-2-2-5 should be doable for that new ram never said anything about volts thought

05-23-2005, 07:13 PM
I think there's a typo there...and newegg forgot to specify the timings at 2.5v...because even the best of old bh-5 needed 2.8+ to post at 2-2-2.

look at this is not bh5 not tccd
Now I know it won't be BH-5 or TCCD, but just wondering what I should tell them in terms of a balance of timings vs. raw speed.

i think they do both. They started off producing just ram chips and selling them but now they actually make the chips and the stick itself I think.
might be some new chip hope so ill buy it right now if performs like the specs

2.3V?

that gigastuff might be Micron.
dark wizard
05-23-2005, 08:57 PM
Micron most probably.It is a cheap combination of tccd(@voltages) and bh5/utt(@timings).It may also be one of these new HYNIX chips that seem to be tccd-alike
fatfreepork
05-23-2005, 09:30 PM
Oh yeah good guess. I was gonna say that but it seemed a tad too cheap to be. Since ballistix is price of PdP Tccd anyways. In the case that it was Micron, then that would be really cool.
dark wizard
05-24-2005, 02:15 AM
Anyway,Im thinking of going for them....I dont want big voltages and like these tight timings.I use 11multi and i dont need xtreme fsb.Rather medium fsb with tight timings,and this is what these memories offer in low price

All the old BH5 i had did 200 2-2-2-5 with 2.5v easy.
One way to tell the difference between BH5 and CH5 on old Twinmos and Kingston was the voltage. 2.5v ment BH5 for sure.
About the Gigaram set, I think its a typo.

The first batches of Kingston HyperX PC3500 were rated 434Mhz CAS2-3-3-7 @2.5V. The 2 256MB module I have here are doing 434Mhz 2-2-2-8 @ 2.6V only. The max I had them on my non-modified NF7-S was @481Mhz 2-2-2-7 with 3.06 Volts. <3 BH-5 :woot:

Called up the Lake Forest, CA office of Gigaram to let them know of the problems on their website, (e.g. sales@gigaram.com bouncing back and no product listing for the new RAM). I also asked the receiptionist is she could ask anyone there what is "under the hood" of these new modules. She took down my email address to pass along. Curious to see what the official response will be. Stayed tuned everyone ...

he didnt say if he turned up the volts on those modules that could have made a huge differenct since they are rated 2.7-2.8 volts then he may have run them at 2.5 and poor performance
