your going to want to edit that Corsair C4D kit because only v1.1 was D9GMH...and i don't know about any handpicking going on for that part either.

v2.1 and up are Promos ICs, just like their other 6400 C4 kits they sell. chances are all retailers will have only rev 2.1 and up and therfore the Promos ones.

Will remove it temporarily till I got confirmation
Here is the ram list

http://ramlist.ath.cx/ddr2/

check out the RamGuy forum where Corsair has their official list. i think it was updated with some 6400 C4D kits and should confirm what i have above.

i had a kit of v2.1 and within 5 minutes i knew they were Promos and not D9GMH...they went back.

[kemo]

Confirmed promos the ram guy just updated the list

CM2X1024-6400C4D XMS6404v2.1 0644020-5 = PROMOS 667MHZ, CL5, .09u 64Mx8
CM2X1024-6400C4D XMS6404v2.2 0645284-8 = PROMOS 667MHZ, CL5, .09u 64Mx8
CM2X1024-6400C4D XMS6404v1.1 0645065-1 = Micron, 64Mx8, 2-533 CL4, Rev D

Dude, please remove Patriot !!
All new Patriot 800 (value, LL, LLK) with black heat-spreaders are ELPIDA!
They can't run above 1050 with 5-5-5-15 2.45V!
It's a stupid ram! I have 800LL
One my friend have 800LLK - the same sh*t
Don't look at this ram! And mine distributor says they are Micron, but nooooo!

[Circaflex]

so if im looking at the ddr2 ram list am i wanting to get D9GMH? Or anything with D9?

[memoryman]

Kemo660 - where did you get the info that our FSX800D2C-xxx was not Micron D9 anymore?
We haven't changed the chips on that part from Micron to anything else.

Does any one know what rev this kit of Corsair 5400C4 is form Newegg?
The price is very good for $164 for a 2 gig kit.
What I'm looking for is if its using Micron ICs or not.

Crucial Ballistix DDR800 D9GMH kit is $269.99 @ TigerDirect atm, and I think the Egg has it cheaper too - just received mine via international shipping today, w00t! And thanks for the ramlist xD

/Edit: That's BEFORE rebates $239.99 with rebates. Very pleased with their service - even better than NewEgg for me, as they ship outside the states. Given that last time I ordered from NewEgg while I was in the states, and it took a US bank account and debit card tied to my address, then between 5-7 working days for me to get my goods, getting my ram from TigerDirect 3working days (yes, three days flat, from tues-friday my time) with INTERNATIONAL shipping is a BIG thumbs up to them Plus I saved on what the equivalent D9 stuff here in NZ is worth ($652NZD for G.Skill BHZ - the only GUARANTEED D9 stuff ^^")

[thebarry]

just wanted to say thanks for this list, i thought the ballistix was a good choice, now i know

[kemo]

Typo error and fixed
Thanks

I have exprience with Patriot PDC22G8000+XBLK . This ram is extremely awesome but for the price you can find something cheaper. These have D9GKX and I know this because I've taken the heatspreader off.

What's the oc difference between the Team Group group 667 cas3 and 800 cas 4?

[kemo]

What's the oc difference between the Team Group group 667 cas3 and 800 cas 4?

Those kits are exactly the same with only three differences
1- Default timings
2- Label on the memory
3- The DDR800 is slightly expensive

[-n7-]

The Geil kit number on newegg is different than what is shown in r00n's ramlist.

Do you have confirmation otherwise that it's D9GMH?

Yes I do have confirmation that they are D9GMH

[Stx]

G.skill PC6400HZ (D9GMH) DDR800 OR Geil ultra (D9GMH) DDR800 CAS4 ? (for a decent OC on the e6400/stability/the Geil is $88 cheaper for me)
