DO u think i should buy some. for 79$ 512mb cas 2... I am contemplating wether or not to buy this, and ditch my other 2 256mb sticks...

Hmm... C'mon guys give me some good advice (I know corsair is better, but its too much money)

if its the pc3000 at newegg, i ordered some too

my freind has it and has gotten 210fsb at 2.7v i think

seems like a good deal since a 256 stick can cost that much

http://www.googlegear.com/jsp/ProductDe ... de=80060-9

I'd skip it and get the Corsair TwinX.

sorry man but money is a concern and $79 opposed to $150+ is a lil out of the ballpark

that is fairly expensive ram. I'm running with the Samsung TCB0 series ram (ddr 333) and it's handling 150mhz without a single problem. Unless your trying to hit incrediable speeds or really push your system, there is no real need to get it.

hyper CRAP!

its ghetto booty higher latency geniricrap ram that can run at high speeds as the corsair, if u skimp on all other options.

ya some ppl get good results but with kingston garanteeing such horrible settings, it proves that even they dont trust it!

For a inexpensive alternative the Hyper X ram is ok for a slightly OC'd box. For any real OC and performance the Corsair is the way to go and is well worth the price.

hi, i'd like to be the first to say that my next ram will be hyperx and not corsair. tons of people have gotten it up to high speed, and who the **** needs their ram to run at 217MHz@2-4-4-8? i'll be running @ 200ish at 2226

have have not seen scores where the hyperX has beaten corsair on latency. 2448? and ur saying the X will do 2226?

good luck

well ordered from newegg, cause the googlegear specs were wrong, so i didn't trust them. Kingston confirmed the specs of the newegg site. So CL rating is awesome.. I'll post benches compared to my current kingmax ddr400 256mb that cant run at 400

I have the Corsair twinx LL 2x 512 running at 400Mgz and setting of 2225. This ram is sweetness and worth every penny!

it may be worth every penny, but some do not have that many pennies

Card is running at cl2 356mhz right now

I cant get it stable at 370 at default Voltage, and i dont like increasing it, so its looking good

aagiants · Post by **aagiants** » Mon Mar 24, 2003 10:15 pm

Final verdict on this ram.. Dont buy it

Tested stability in games, and at 356mhz i wasn't stable, which isn't very good.

Hopefully newegg will let me return this

EDIT. Wait n/m PC2700 Bah! Plus i won't have dual channel capabilties due to 1 stick.
