I'm looking for RAM with tight timings... any suggestions?

[WINDSHEAR]

I know Mushkin Redline is really good stuff, but do any of you know of any other brands that have really tight timings?


and btw, I haven't been on here in nearly a year, but I'm back now.

Welcome back. Are you looking for DDR2. What speed? There are lots of companys who offer high performance RAM with advertised tight timings. What is your preference?

I forgot to specify...

DDR RAM.

Not DDR2. Big difference. 😉

I want very tight timings (like the Mushkin Redline 2-2-2-6) and high clock speed,... (like the Mushkin Redline PC4000 DDR500)

I just wanted to know if anyone knew of any other brands of RAM out there that had the same kind of quality, etc.

I run this at 2-3-2-6 400+ mhz.

I run this at 2-3-3-5 400+ mhz. (2 x 512 MB)

I run 4 x 512 of this at 2-3-3-6 above 500mhz. depending on which MB I am using.

Nice timings on the first two, but low Mhz,... and for the last one, nice Mhz, but a little bit worse timings than I had hoped for.

It appears to me that there are no companies out there that can quite compete with Mushkin.

Except maybe OCZ... I haven't read up on them for a while.

The Crucial Ballistic PC4000 will run at 2-3-3-6 above 400 mhz. no problem. I had to loosen the CA Latency to 2.5 to get it to run at 500 MHZ on an MSI Nf4 board. I couldn't get to 500 mhz. on a couple of ASUS boards. 2-3-3-6 at 450 mhz. to 460 mhz. it can do.

I built and am working on an Gigabyte K8N-SLI with 2 x 1GB of OCZ Platinim PC3200 2-3-3-6. I'm still adding to it. Supposed to put a 3800 X2 in there tonight, but he's playing games 😀 . I've messed a bit with the OCZ Platinum PC3200 in there. Funny, it was late and I was adjusting it and told him I would leave it at 2.5-3-3-6 because I was tired and didn't feel like looking for the CMOS jumper if I crashed it 8O . I'll get to to 2-3-3-6 later when I put this 3800 X2 I bought for him. 😀

Redlines are the best deal. You can look on ebay for some Corsair XMS3500LLPRO or XMS4400PRO. It's hard to find and not cheap.

I run 1 .5 GB (2 x 512 kit plus 512) Corsair PC3200LL Pro 2-3-2-5 in one of my older computers. Anyone interested in it? LEDs, old and hard to find RAM.

 

[WINDSHEAR]

does that corsair go up to 500Mhz ok?

and what kind of a price are you offering on it?

I have this. I paid like $300 plus for the 2 x 512 kit new when it first came out and then added a new single 512 matching DIMM later for a Platinumn NF3 socket 754 board with three slots. 3200LL with the LEDs. What's it worth? I would sell it.

It's PC3200 400 mhz. Nah, I haven't had it near 500 mhz. Tight timings though.

I almost pulled the trigger on the G. Skill a couple of months ago, but I settled for this at $159.99 from Fry's Electronics. I have other G. Skill that is outstanding when overclocking.
