I have a feeling the bios of your board is fooling you.

Afaik 1t isn't possible with Intel chipset, 1t is the command rate the mem is communicating with the chipset, so not really memory related.

I don't see how raising Vdimm will help here. :shrug:

i told you i realy don't know :shrug: some others here in Greece with the sabe board says that 1T Works and it's definatly works on intel chipsets not only on Nvidia...

alltho i don't think that my board is so smart to fool me :p: i used some olderf Bios and gues what ! it boots again in 1T so i'am going to leave it this way

Pretty good deal here

would it be worth it to buy this stuff for my next build?

The reason why it did not boot might be that i had transaction booster enabled and set at 1 which is the most agressive setting.

Can you show a superpi run with 1t and 2t?

I'm also interested in that, as I still don't think that 1T is possible at DDR2-1200 4-4-4-4, even more at only 2.3 volt.

sure i can later today but the difrence is only some Millisec's not a big deal on performance gain on 2T Vs 1T i just wand to find if the Board can do the 1T for the sticks i'am sure they can :p:

here you are m8 ;)

+1 :up:

Getting some better results with my Ballistix. I am currently Memtesting @ 1192Mhz 5-5-5-10 at 2.3vdimm with no errors on my P35 T2R. Wish I could get 4GB running like that :)

Edit: Got the Vdimm down to 2.07v at the above speed and timings. Looking alittle better now :up:

Hm...that's a pretty good deal! But what about shipping? Id prefer to just drive over and pick it up, save me the hassle of having to ship it back if i get them DOA.

just got my 2x1GB Tracers from buy.com , bought them for $70 on BF :)

Unfortunately, my 975xbx2 is really showing its age and really hinders this nice set. Running the Tracers at 975MHz @ 4.4.4.10 at 2.16v atm

I just received my Ballistix from Direct Canada/NCIX and it seems like Crucial now have a new heat spreader for their product... My heatspreader are smaller on don't cover the top of the memory... Looks sick though :)

Ya know what, I didn't even notice mine were the same :) I dont have clips on my spreaders, they are just thermal taped on :p:

Have you tried going higher? Mine were Memtest stable at 2.3V 1200 4-4-4-4-8 on the P35 DS4 tRFC42 PL5. I've ran 1T at 4-4-4-4 900 1.9V on the K9A2 without problems, quite pointless in terms of performance though.
