[Update 25/11] 2GB of DDR2 for overclocking what to buy

[shimmishim]

Ha Ha, you're two for two!!!! (you were a bit late to buy my patriot sticks). Anyone have gotten theirs yet?

Yeah. Mine are at the PO.

I will pick them up tomorrow.

that same guy had the crucial ballistix pc-8000 ddr2 1000 1gb sticks going for $79, had 4 that ended a few hours ago, but i think only one person bid at $79, which left 3 sticks with no bids.

10th anniversary for $72 a stick.... still in static wrap

[Roger_D25]

Well get off your butt and test them, lol! By the way I just got confirmation that my module shipped! Are you going to check what IC's those modules are running shim? I guess we can assume their GMH but it would be nice if you would verify for us! Depending on whether or not I keep my module I'll definelty check the IC's to verify what they are (lets hope they didn't decide to switch over to Handpicked Elpidas), lol!

10th anniversary for $72 a stick.... still in static wrap

those look familiar

i tested one of mine, it hit 1290 with 2.4v, the other hit 1265 about.

I have them running 1036 4-4-4-10 @ 2.2v stable, they were able to do 1050 4-4-4-10 @ 2.2v stable in memtest.

Let us know how good yours are, i am sure you will probably enjoy them.

i'll give them a good test later on.

right now i'm pushin' my ballistix 8000's and having fun with them.

also installed a new chipset WB on my NB. really hopin' to push it tomorrow.

i've had a kit of 10th anniversary before but had to get rid of them when i stick died and crucial didn't have any in stock at the time.

[Roger_D25]

Thinking about selling my Cellshocks to pick up a kit of Crucial's new PC2-8500 (good or bad idea)? I still regret selling my PC2-8000 Ballistix, by far the best kit I've ever had and I miss them!

I was wondering how well those PC2-8500 would OC. If I ever sell the OCZ 9200 FlexXLc I may one set.

[Roger_D25]

Alright, whoever gets them first needs to put up a review!

Crucial is all over the place with these 10th aniv sticks. Some will tell you that they dont have em, some say they do.
When I called, They had em so I RMAd mine ( mine stopped booting at 1.8V), I just got a pair of annis from Crucial today.

[TeRm]

I ordered the Ballistix Tracer 8500 for 207$ with no rebate a few days ago and a 6600 for 235$.
Cant wait to test them. Will post a review asap.

i want, but 2gb crucial anniversary for $150 seems like a better deal, especially since they are performing pretty awesome so far.

[torahtrance]

I got this problematic Super Talent ddr2-800 T800UB1GC5 5-5-4-12 I wanna get rid of it and get something for OC...

what do you guys recommend? I am surprised, these crucial 10th anni are only ddr2 667? but you OC them way past that and they perform much better?? hmm someone recommend and how can i find out what chip my super talents are...

i wonder anyone can help me out on Supertalent rams. before it was D9GMH/D9GKX but recently r00n (ramlist) indicated it's promos. i just want to double confirm before i lay me hands on it. thanks. if it's still D9 i think it's one of the cheapest D9 ram now.

but it seems that most people don't think they are d9

[zbomb5610]

it is crazy what kinds of deals you can get on crucial right now.

mwave has great deals right now.

2gb ddr2 1000 for around $170 and 2gb ddr2 1066 (pc 8500) for under $200.

i'll give them a good test later on.

let me know how those anni's compare to your 8000 set, i would appreciate it. hopefully you have had some fun playing around with those sets.

i didn't get around to playing with my 10th anniversary sticks this weekend very much. i only did a 32M test at 5-4-3 600mhz and it passed. i'll do more this week and coming weekend.

Heyz what do you guys think of the Gskill DDR2 PC6400 HZ 2GB? has Micron D9 right? I can get amayzing prices on the Gskill, OCZ and Mushkin, what do you guys advise?

Thanks

its such a tough call with ddr2 prices falling.

all 3 have excellent customer service (i've dealt with all three before).

i guess it's just a matter of cost and personal preference.

for me, i think it'd come down to cost. i'd take whichever was the cheapest of the three.

[Godmyster]

I have a store and have one of the best or best distributor for OCZ, Mushkin and OCZ, so i can sme pretty good prices on them and wanted to know if the HZ would be a good choice or shoould i choose another Kit of memories? like the Hk.. just want to know witch kit would be the best for OC ?

Thanks

[shimmishim]

which ocz, mushkin were you thinking about?

whichever is the highest binned would probably o/c the best.

i'd guess 8500 > 8000 > 6400 but it's not always true.

[Godmyster]

I can get any kit i want, witch kit of 2x1GB would be the best?

[shimmishim]

so what are the other kits? it's hard to say which to get when you don't give the other options.

like i said, based on just brand from those three, it's impossible to pick since they are all good.
