RAM pr0n alert >> Corsair sent over a new 4GB DDR3 kit (micron based) for testing

[dinos22]

these are 2GB sticks rated at 800MHz CAS7






waiting for gigashyte...errr i mean byte mobo to arrive for some corsair lovin'

thought i'd give you boys heads up on the new corsairs to hit the market soon

[Speederlander]

What does that cost, like $1300?

[dinos22]

i think around US$10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 00000000000000000000000000000000
does the first poster have to be a party pooper

[gillll]

which mobo and cpu u gonna attach to those sexy sticks ?

[dinos22]

one of these for starters

if it goes good on air it's going to get some phase and DICE treatment along with my E6700.......fingers crossed for some high 4Ghz action with these sticks

I'm not a party pooper, I'm excited to spend $$$$ on my RAM.

[dinos22]

lol

i don't talk prices in case they change their mind and start charging me hahahahah j/k but it will be probably similar to what DDR2 prices were like when they first came out......don't ask me what they were i was still into BH5 at that time

[gillll]

hehe i bet the dfi mobo LANPARTY UT P35 DDR3 version will like them.

those are z9 micron chips ?

i read Andre's post....can't wait to try the ddr3 mobo but i think by the time it comes out we will all be drooling over the X38 mobo

Z9? i think so >> not 100% sure

[gillll]

lol yea i think it'll be ddr3 only.

[RPGWiZaRD]

OMG that is pure pr0n indeed.

So it means the trend continues which I had hoped for, optimal frequency/timings/capacity/price ratio: DDR1 1GB, DDR2 2GB, DDR3 4GB. Well that's how my cycle looks like anyways, 1GB on DDR1, 2GB very soon on DDR2 and I go prolly to 4GB first when it's time for me to go DDR3 which won't happen for at least 1 year+. I simply don't like giving up too much on frequency and timings picking the bigger capacity sticks which aren't that useful yet but 2GB sticks on DDR3 seems fine, but on DDR2 they don't impress me yet cuz price is also skyhigh if you want anything that performs close to 1GB DDR2 sticks.

This kit alone shows 2GB sticks won't be a prob getting very nicely optimized 2GB sticks (compare 2GB DDR3 sticks to DDR2 1GB) for nice speeds and timings and not much lower speed at all compared to 1GB sticks on DDR3. I wouldn't be so much suprised if 4GB capacity sticks shows up yet at somewhat decent speeds towards end of DDR3 area.

[safan80]

got any results yet?

[MaxxxRacer]

those appear to be the same chips that Supertalent is using in their new 1GB sticks.

Have these sticks gone retail yet?

[Speederlander]

I would like to see some 16GB capable X38 boards then to complement that.

now you're talking
me tooooo


i am waiting on the board to arrive so testing will happen when it lands here from Taiwan >>> gigabyte are keen supporters of overclockers downunder i've been told

Maxxx >> not yet they haven't
don't think these have been announced yet

I will be really waiting for your OC report i have the same mobo here and so far i have lots of trouble with it, it is a really early revision so that might be it.

If you could help me get support from gigabyte it would be awsome.

Have fun memtesting dinos!

Have fun memtesting dinos!

you bastard

really wish someone could have a test like memtest but a tad faster with so much ram

i think by the time a loop is finished on test#5 i can go have a shower and dig into some breakfast


metro, what sort of problems are you having?

[oohms]

Lol you could do it the lazy way and increase fsb with clockgen / easytune while running prime95 large fft's

[dinos22]

nah that's how i test CPUs

[JAG87]

OMFG

thats my next kit of ram right there

[erwinz]

hahaha.. this will be good..



btw dinos22 what OS will you be using to test??

[dinos22]

yeah that's an interesting question

would be nice to get server 2003 32-bit to test as that should work ok with all 4GB RAM donno

otherwise vista 64-bit

it's not hard to get win 2k3 server. I'm sure you could find it cheap in china.

[RPGWiZaRD]

There's also Windows Server 2k3 x64.
