CSX DDR3 arrived: Diablo 2000MHz & CEC 1333MHz kits first look

[ShoNuff]

I know I will go for 8Gbs when Windows 7 comes (I might even need couple more sticks for next year when I jump into tri-channel)

I was thinking the same thing regarding upgrading to tri-channel memory. Hopefully these CSX sticks will play nice in a tri-channel Nehalem platform. So far it would appear that the new i7 boards work best with the very low voltage dimms. Bottom line, it would be nice to be able to use the CSX sticks in the new boards.

I have ordered 12Gb matched sets from CSX & will use 8gb now & 12gb with X58.

Check out the testing done with these sticks on X58 http://www.xtremesystems.org/Forums/...ghlight=diablo

This was done at 1.64, although higher voltage can be used & thus higher speeds.

Also take into account that there will be boards that will have an independent voltage for vDIMM like MSI & DFI, if early reports are true. This will enable users to use the same voltages as now.
