Want A-DATA DDR500?

**charlie** · 07-24-2003, 04:43 PM

How much would you all be willing to pay for a 256mb stick that did 300fsb 1:1 FOR REAL?? Why can't someone e-mail a friend in Japan, get a dozen sticks and sell them on Ebay or something?

**Dissolved** · 07-24-2003, 04:48 PM

depends on the timmings.. if there high, then i wouldnt pay more then 300 for a 512 set.
if there low i might pay more..

**Kunaak** · 07-24-2003, 05:10 PM

just get the ram-I'll do the rest

**LikwidKool** · 07-24-2003, 06:30 PM

**NyCUndaGrounD** · 07-24-2003, 06:36 PM

**ryanpgroovy** · 07-24-2003, 07:20 PM

**charlie** · 07-24-2003, 08:55 PM

Ryan,
I'll take 2 sticks of pretested 300fsb memory...

PM me...hehe
And Ryan,
A lesson to take from this...you could make $$$ from pre-tested top 1% memory!

You should!!! If i knew someone who had access...I would.
Just curious what the timings are when these guys get 'em up on the north side of 300...
I don't care though...at 3,4,4,8 just imagine a 2.6@3.9ghz 1:1
How 'bout www.ebay.com.jp?? Is there such thing?

**ryanpgroovy** · 07-24-2003, 09:19 PM

the top 1% does not do 600 right now

sorry charlie

**eva2000** · 07-25-2003, 12:24 AM

for 256MB A-DATA PC4000 i wouldn't pay more than AUD$112.91 per stick in their current state max between 274-283mhz at 2.85v

for guaranteed 300mhz 1:1 hmmm US$100 = AUD$151 so yeah US$100-125 max

**Dirty_Punk** · 07-25-2003, 02:53 AM

in italy A-Data PC4000 are avaiable for 75€

**Ewok** · 07-25-2003, 03:49 AM

so i take it that its the a-data pc4000 thats the best right now and does 280fsb 1:1 at under 3v?

are there any reviews? sandra scores?

if itll do 280fsb at 1:1 then ill be dumping my corsair 3500 (providing its gonna have a lot more bandwidth than this corsair does at 230 1:1 and cas2/2/2/5).

**B4E** · 07-25-2003, 03:55 AM

I'm waitin' for A-Data pc4000 with Winbond BH-4 chips... I hope they're available at stock soon! :smileysex

**bito** · 07-25-2003, 03:55 AM

Ewok.....its available at overclockers.co.uk as of today !!!

**Ewok** · 07-25-2003, 03:56 AM

yes i know thats why i want a quick answer, if its the answer i want ill order right now but i need proof of how good it is.

no point me swapping corsair 3500 230fsb at 2/2/2/5 if what im buying isnt a lot faster. If it does 280 1:1 then it should be faster even on slow timings. i get 3200 unbuffered sandra at this speed so if itll do 3500 and up then ill grab some.

chainbolt's tested 12 sticks of 256mb a-data pc4000 and only 2 manage 283mhz at 2.85v on P4C800-E, the rest are between 274-278mhz at 2.85v so close but not 280mhz

**Ewok** · 07-25-2003, 04:17 AM

well thats close enuff but whats the sandra bandwidth like? and what timings were they?

**eva2000** · 07-25-2003, 04:34 AM

quoting chainy

I have tested now in total 12 modules ADATA DDR 500 on 3 different P4 (865/875) boards. The SPD timing is 3-4-4-8. But the modules are running at 2.5-3-3-5, and at highest frequency at 2.5-3-4-5.

The frequency range faultfree in dual channel is 274~278Mhz. Of course in Windows it's booting higher than that, the max I got with the best couple was 283Mhz.

It seems the IC7 does not like this RAM. The P4C800 and P4P800-E both are working well with it. That is RAM for boards which are not too "sensitive" with RAM.

Bandwidth on the P4C800-C at 275Mhz is 6500 MB/sec, so this RAM is far better than OCZ 3700.

**Ewok** · 07-25-2003, 04:48 AM

ordered.

although i get 6460/6470 buffered anyway but im having to use 3.25v to get there at the moment and im going to be going for 294fsb 1:1 to max the cpu.

**DoGMaN** · 07-25-2003, 05:35 AM

I would take anything that can do better than this crap Corsair XMS3500 that I have. Won't do more than 226 even at 3-8-4-4 @2.8v

I have two 512 sticks of that same stuff sitting in a drawer now for 2 months for that same reason

**charlie** · 07-25-2003, 08:07 AM

Awwwwww....
YOu guys are making the poor americans feel bad...when can WE get some? 278 1:1 at cas2.5 3,3,5 is decent. Some of the 3.2gHz guys could REALLY do some damage with these sticks.

**iceman2g** · 07-25-2003, 09:14 AM

Why is it that places over in Europe and Asia get these things before we do? I've never seen a stick of A-DATA on any US or Canadian site.

**xgman** · 07-25-2003, 10:24 AM

I have communicated wih A-data recently, and they may soon end up having 2 versions of this. I believe the recent PC4000 Winbond BH-4 ES (engineering sample) they showed is not yet available to purchase. I also believe that those chips if and when they come out, may be quite a bit better than the ones pictured above, at least as far as timings are concerned. Probably not that big of a concern if they are going on a P4 board. Just keep this in mind.
