it will be at least $100 i think, maybe higher, i dont think he is sure yet.

erghhhh.....
sorry hipro but I have to say to you, 100 might be good for some people here and I will most likly buy one anyways but my costumers that have a kit on pre order will not. :upset: :shock2:
I mean the most people I know and that have interest in this kit are not noobs but not ultimate Die hards. so they are not willing to pay 100 euros I believe :s
and US people that 130 $ for you guys( about)
well put it this way, most people dont wanna mod their boards. And having someone mod their boards can get expensive including shipping. about 50 dollars for two mods or so. So....this is worth it.
Well the real question is how much better than the booster will it be. If it allows better O/C then I see ppl paying the price
It will be better, and people will pay for it :)Quote:

Some ppl have the funds to pay for pr0n, I don't have the need for it :D ; same for other ppl and this amazing piece of artwork :slap:
Its final price will be announced pretty soon...... ;)Quote:

Believe me......IF some friend of yours buy it, start playing with it and you happen to see it from that close, you WILL BUY it for sure......coz you will work with it, nowadays and in the future too......You won't have to through it away with ANY upcoming platform so as to buy something else that will be released in the future......You will have ONE unit for ......ever.....let's say......That's another avantage of the DDR Maximizer..... ;) :)Quote:

We see me. I'm on 4th year of university. I'm sitting on a chair wistfully staring in the window at my own reflection. There's a sound of screeching tires outside. Some moments later, the sound of somebody running up the stairs echoes through the building. A knock on the door. I become aware of my surroundings. I get up, put on a shirt (backwards) and tripping over the pile of clothes, run to open the door. On the doorstep, there's a mailman dressed in standard issue mailman uniform. He carelessly hands me my package with its prescious contents. I make something similar to a line instead of my signature in my haste, thank him, and tear open the box. Inside it are computer parts in semitransparent newegg bags. In one box, there's a motherboard. The motherboard is of a strange L-shape, it's made for DTX form factor cases. The other box contains a brand-new 12000+ Athlon128. Bundled with a stock evaporator. I throw the evaporator in the corner; my custom ones are much better anyway. Besides, I still wouldn't be caught dead using a stock cooler. The third box. The third box is the last. It is about as long as a pencil. If it contained pencils, you could put about 20 in there. I proceed to cut it open. It contains two sticks of jet-black RAM. The ram says "all hail Rambus, conqueror of the future!" on the polished chrome waterblocks. It's 32-pumped XDR2 RAM. It's the most expensive component of my system; I paid $400 for two 4Gb sticks. There are also some terminators made out of the same jet-black PCB. I look at Hipro's DDR maximizer. Not only it still uses the blanks for DDR2 memory of the past, but it also provides insanely high voltages that would burn my hard-earned memory. After all, it operates at 0.2mV. I let out a long sigh, and take the device out of the 3.5" slot, to replace it with another Blu-ray optical drive.
*mirrors and harps take us back to present time*
Ok, I don't really know what the point of this whole story I just made up is. So don't ask. But damn, I should have been a playwright.. ;)
NOT quite right.!.......Vdimm - as long as it will exists - will be from 1.5Vdimm and over that "1.5V" spot.......It needs at least 1.4Volts to work right.....This IS a fact.....So EVEN if in the future will be Ram modules with 1.5Vdimm as a default voltage, you will pick within the Maximizer the DDR2 config and you'll start from 1.7Vdimm in worse case......The ONLY thing you'll HAVE to buy in the future for the Maximizer will be the NEW DDR PCB that will fit in the new DDR slot and that's it.....Realy cheep PCB.....Have a nice day.... ;)
That would be true for (G)DDR2/3. However, XDR is Rambus. There's no knowing what crazy standards they could come up with. Still, I just felt like writing something.. :DQuote:

True, it was a problem with 16-bit rimms, IIRC. 32-bit ones could be used without terminators.
By the way, is there any chance you could make a very... low-profile version of what plugs into the dimm slot? 'Cause I got giant ramsinks, and I'm kinda hoping that it would fit under them. :cheer2: Yeah, there are way too many smilies..
Have you a pic of them?.......The DDR PCB is tall enough I think so as the ram-sinks go below the connector.....Quote:

The usual procedure is to e-mail or PM Hipro5, if you want to pre-order.Quote:

Where did you get that cooler from please :D
If its a good product, people will pay for it. If its bad, then one has the choice on not buying it. If something is worth it, why not buy it. Its like Toyota charging more for their cars because their cars are better than a lot of cars out there. People will ditch their ddr boosters if the maximizer turns out to be superior. I have my ddr booster lying on the table. Anxiously waiting for the maximizer to come out so I can pick up the ABIT AN8 without having to mod it to get higher volts. Remember, mods cannot be transferred over to another board. So in the future, If I need another volt mod, it will cost money again to have it modded. In the long run, the maximizer will save anyone without soldering skills (like me) money from paying someone 50 to 60 bucks to mod a board. Come on Hipro, waiting for ur PM telling me where to get one.
if you look on the side of the cooler, it says SUPERTALENT. Obviously he modded the cooler himself to accept three fans on that thing.Quote:

i want hipro maximizer more then anyone, but volt mods arent hard, to me thats not the reason, my reason is i dont like vioding warranties... :)
Actually once you have the stuff volt mods cost like $5. The initial stuff costs like $50 though between soldering iron, solder, multimeter, etc. But there is always the risk of not having a steady hand :).Quote:

well its not something you can just do, but i took an old p2 mobo and soldered leads all over it in tough spots, eventually i became comfortable enough with it to be confident in my skills.
