Ewok,
Well if it'll do 275+ 1:1 you're already in rarified air so to speak...
Also, I can't remember Ewok, what mobo are you using? You might have to use Setfsb to get high 1:1 OC's

right folks, i am now at 292fsb 1:1, P4C800.
I can tell you it failed prime and crashed windows at 292fsb with 3.03v but it is running at the moment 292fsb and 3.14v, but hasnt done prime for long enuff yet for me to say its stable.
the most im going to be able to go stable is 294fsb as this is the limit of my 2.6c so when i get there ill start posting benches, let me just say im not too dissapointed with the bandwidth so far :p: but dont expect anything earth shattering, it IS runing cas3/4/4/8 at the moment.
292, 1:1
hmmmmmm....can it go even a little better? cas3, 3,3,7?
C
still testing but it wont even POST at 3/3/4/8 or 3/4/3/8 at 292fsb.
I am now at 293fsb 3/4/4/8 and its primed and superpi stable for the last 30 mins so if it passes at this ill start tweaking and post some benches. I think i may be able to get 2.5/4/4/7 but those middle 2 are just not gonna budge as it wont even post otherwise.
heres 293 2.5/4/4/7 - fails prime pretty quick even with 3.25v.

whats more, at cas2.5/4/4/7 I get 597fps in quake3 293fsb 1:1 and its not stable. with the corsair at 2/2/2/5 and 290fsb 5:4 (230) I got 605fps in quake3 perfectly stable. both with 3.25v. Looks like im gonna have 2 sticks of A-Data for sale.
I would like to know how chainbolt supposedly had 12 sticks all running 2.5/3/3/7 at 274fsb, cos mine wont even post at 255fsb with those timings and 3.25v let alone 274 and 2.85v.
Does anyone of you guys know if A-Data has webbsite ??...been looking for one but can´t seem to find any.
I've taken them out and Ill be selling them for £115 for both including P+P if anyone wants em (thats UK prices btw).
Im sure I could go over 7100 in sandra buffered but it wont be stable and I cant be bothered just for a screenshot.
I always though the nubuffered sandra score would be an indication of what real world (i.e. gaming) performance the memory would provide. It appears not, as I get a good 100mbps more with the A-Data and Quake3, the most memory bandwidth dependant game ever, is still 7fps faster with the corsair. So it seems sandra is totally useless for anyone wanting to know what performance they are REALLY going to get when running stuff.
anyone wanna buy some almost new A-Data? :)
Got them for 118 euros equates to $135.55 USA dolars.Quote:

Ewok amazing scores by the way.
Well if u want more I can do more, i wasnt even trying :p:
Ewok
A few questions for you:
You ran 2x256MB modules it seems..BAD move as they are single sided.
I saw buffered benches...can you post an unbuffered?
Thanks.
Dam just checked my paypal and they took $189 USA dollars for the 2x256mb Adata sticks. will have to email them about this.
lol they pwnd j00z
I bet its because they adjusted shipping, it was only like 8.9 pounds or so on their site for international shipping. :eek:Quote:

I calculated that it would end up at around $192 or so, I think $189 seems about right. Still not too bad though.
righty ho after corrupting my windows attempting to gain a bit more, heres my best

reasonable bandwidth methinks
298fsb 1:1, cas2.5/4/4/5, 3.25vdimm
Whoa thats some nice bandwidth, what spec system please?
Craig
That was a 2.6c, 2x256mb, 298fsb 1:1, P4C800, 3.25vdimm, cas2.5/4/4/5
unbuffered at 297fsb, cas3/4/4/8 gave me 3410
since the speed of these sticks doesnt fit well with the speed my 2.6c can do, i will be keeping my corsair and these 2 adata sticks are now on ebay as a buy it now item.
Those timings make me wanna cry. So laggy! 3-4-4-8?! Imagine the bandwidth at 2-2-2-5 at that speed. Looks like memory is just being adjusted to be overclocked further without many changes in the actual chips. Too bad DDR2 is still almost a year away. For now we'll just have to settle for DCDDR with higher and higher timings it seems. Latency = devil.
Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that every pc4000 manufactirer that has come out so far has about the same crappy 3448 timings, give or take. This is mostly useless for an amd rig. So-so for Intel if you can get the fsb high enough to compensate for the low timings. I guess we are still waiting then for the next real performance jump in ddr. I wonder what Windond BH-4 will be like if it is ever released?
Judging from the unbuffered, unprefetched bandwidth, it seems that it's worse than 235 aggressive. Unless you run something that the upcoming stream of data can be guessed by the CPU, these insane 7000 something MB/s are useless.
Oh well I'll buy some other ram.
I'd still like to see benchmarks 'ala Zroc that show 294 1:1 cas2.5, 4,4,5 vs. 5:4 (235) cas2, 2,2,5 like some 3dmk01??

Email Luanne Wu at Adata (luanne_wu@adata.com.tw) and buy
direct. She quoted me $US62 each for ddr500 256mb last week.
Payment is only via telegraphic transfer. Delivery is via EMS
courier (approx $US30). She would prefer that you buy in
quantities of 6 sticks or greater.
Is it a "6 stick minimum"? I'd like to order four sticks for a total of 1GB for my IC7 for a total of $278. That's like $50 more than the 512MB OCZ PC-3700 EL Gold kit for twice the amount of RAM and higher speeds.Quote:

get more than you need and individually test each one for their max and match the best 4 and sell the rest off, there's some variationQuote:

i.e. in the 12 x 256mb adata pc4000 tested by chainbolt at 3-4-4-5 timings at 2.85v on p4c800-e in memtest86
4 did max 277
2 did max 275
2 did max 274
2 did max 272
2 did max 267
Problem is that I don't really have the funding to buy 6 sticks right now. That'd be nice to do, and get the best four out of six sticks, but I don't think I've got $400 to put down on it right now.Quote:
