Very good price. Some of us bought the PC2-8000 version elsewhere when it was a similar price and we're more than happy with it.
 
Anyone now how *flexible* this memory is?

Like if you drop the frequency can you tighten the timings? Does it have JEDEC SPD settings for 1.8vDimm?

How high can it clock? 600MHz doable? :D
 
That's just a silly price - I can't justify passing that up so another order hits my decimated bank account. Still, if there is a fire in a Korean chip factory in the near future, at least I'll get to feel smug - plus the prices really can't drop much lower than this methinks...
 
Seriously tempted by this. Currently running 2x1GB of Ballistix PC5300 and 2x1GB of OCZ PC6400 stuff, which seems to work quite well. But switching to two sticks, combined with the fact that this is PC8500, might improve my overclocking prospects... and if not I can run 6GB :D

Surely RAM isn't gonna get any cheaper. Who's gonna switch to DDR3 when good DDR2 is this cheap?
 
It's the max the chips can do as such.. so you can safely overclock knowing the chips are guaranteed to take the speed with the higher speed ram. So basically, unless you can't overclock past the memory's limits on your's you really won't see any difference at all. You may even have it better if your able to keep your stock timings with your current RAM as it may have tighter timings :)

Someone please explain that better as I haven't done it very well!

Quick question - how come lots of OCZ PC2 8500 are 5-5-5-18, when other brands are usaully 5-5-5-15?
 
OCZ are always conservative with their tRas. Even their PC2-6400 is 4-4-4-15 when everybody elses is 4-4-4-12.

But it will usually run at the same tRas as the others.

Happily running this at 5-5-5-12 together with my 2x1GB of GeIL Black Dragon (I could possibly even do 4-4-4-12 if I was to use 1:1 memory divider, but I'm not sure if I want tighter timings or faster memory).
