I already own 2x512 PC4000 ADATA

Would you recomend me selling them and buying a pair of "OCZ EB DDR PC-3500 / 433MHz / Platinum Edition / Dual Channel"???

I know they are better but don't know if they are better enough to send mines and spend around $150 more on them. Will I get MUCH more bandwidth :confused:

I will use 2x512 config, never 1x512

Currently I get around 3700Mb/s (Sandra Buffered) at 250 1:1 2.5 4-4-10

@Tedinde...

Put your Tras and 10 instead of 8 and I bet you will get alittle higher bandwidth scores. 64s like a Tras setting of 10. Is your CPU at 2.8 on air? And if so what are the temps and how much voltage are you having to run to it to hit that?

@Bourch...

I would recommend getting some OCZ Plat Rev 2 512x2. If you want to overclock 1GB this is the RAM to get. It will do DDR577+ with two DIMMs in. OCZ EB wont even do that or any other memory that I am aware of. But I think also Ubermann told me that he has gotten his one stick to do 310FSB so far as well.

@Ubermann...

Is 310FSB the highest on your RAM still?

310 is the best yet that survived this stupid prime for an hour.
I can boot comp, run Super PI and run all kinda benches without crash or other strange lockups.
But it can fail after 5 seconds in prime.
Will try memtest instead.

Heres my Board with a 3400+ Clawhammer CG and 1 gig KHx BH5@3,1V
LDT=Auto (2,5)
But 34 sec isn´t enough , i think. ive seen some screens with 250x10, which shows 34 sec too.
The maximum of this Board , i still have to find out.
Therefore, see you

It looks like superpi depands more on the cpu frekvens, and sync isn't a must!

hi there guys, & excuse my 'traditional' question :p:
i'm thinking about upgrading my XP-M2600+ & NF7-S rev2.0 to an A64 system. now, it seems that im going this DFI MoBo, but the question would be, which CPU to go?! i can't decide which?!
1. A64 3200+ DTR?!
2. A64 3400+ DTR?!
3. a non-DTR one?! CH or NC?!

BTW, i'll be using my Corsair 2 x CMX256A PC3200LL re1.1 ( BH-5 :D )

yeah what you get? i just picked up some eb3500 myself but now i hear that the balistic memory is what you want these days? well i cant aford to buy any right now so these new ocz eb3500 beter be worth the trouble...

@naelq
im using some crosair CMX256A 3200LLPT XMS rev1.1 bh-5 and so far 255-260 1:1 with 2-2-2 timmings 3.2v on this dfi board. you should see some decent 1:1 ocs out of them. good luck :toast:

well not the greatest oc compared to you guys but none the less 2650mhz 1:1 using pc4000 adata. IF i can mange 2700mhz 1:1 i would be happy with that. anyways have a peek tell me what you guys think? also i tried that 400x5 with the 1/2 divider and it was a no go. i got this message saying "detecting array" then it would just reboot and then a blk screen so i dont know how the hell you guys are getting 400plus HTT??

I´ve been reading this thread almost from the beginning and drooling :slobber: when others got their boards. But finally yesterday I got mine.. :D and decided to post...

I flashed the 4.0V mod bios. Now I´ve just been trying to find the max stable HTT and so far I´ve found 350MHz..

I ran prime 7 hours with that and no problems...

Now I just have to find the max 1:1 with these EB´s... ;) :)

7x350MHz PRIME 7h

I was using 7x multi (7x350MHz). I haven´t tried more or lower multis, yet ;)

Oh yeah, all settings were set to AUTO, except I uppet the chipset voltage by +0.1V to 1.6V and also Vcore 110%.

I found these two 1024 packs. The first one is not in stock but I can wait.
Is the rev.2 better than the Platinum limited and the 3500EB? Them, does it deserve invest some money and change my pair of adata for those ones?
