If you mean PC4800 ram then there are no 2GB kits available. There were only a handful of 1GB kits made at that speed.

The fastest 2GB DDR kit on sale is PC4000 atm

Hi ,thanks for the reply , i have PC4000 at the moment and i would like to run at higher htt but my ram craps out at 250 , my board will go 300 plus so i was looking for something that could run 1:1 at high speed

It wont make any noticeable difference on a divider. If you really want 2GB that does 300HTT then look for some second hand beautys

Only Crucial ballistix have done 300 quite regularly have a look at this thread:http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=67762

my 2x 1gig ballistix easily cope at 280 with 2.9volts. i know there are a lot of reported problems but i got mine in the middle of it all and im nothin but pleased with their performance. if i were buyin now id look at the munchkin redline which will also v.likely get clse to 300.

If you buy some Redline expecting 300MHz, I'm afraid you're going to be sorely disappointed.

Best bet for 270-280Mhz would be decent Samsung UCCC-based sticks (i.e GSkill HZ) though you're probably going to have to run v. loose 3-4-4 timings.

For up to 270ish, then it's all about the better Infineon-based kits (OCZ PC4000EB/Mushkin Redline/Team Xtreem Cronus IA) which will allow the running of much tighter 3-3-2 timings.

Bear in mind that even 250Mhz at 3-3-2 is (technical term alert) 'peeing all over' 280MHz 3-4-4 in most (all?) real world tests (especially gaming/3D benching).

Yeah i have 2 gig of redline 3-3-8-2 and 1 gig of tccd 2-2-5-2 and to be honest im running the tccd on a divider in preference to the mushkin , coz even though only 2 x512 my board performs better with the tight timings , so what do recon about 4 x 512 tccd , do you think the timings will suffer much

I'm not familiar with how your motherboard handles 4x 512MB sticks but in general one should expect worse results than with 2x 1GB of decent RAM.

your forced to run at 2t for a start

andyr · 24 Apr 2006 at 15:10

Yeah thanks for the replies i have decided to stick with the redline and go for selling my beloved corsair pro , only for some unknown reason everything seems to of settled down with the mushkin , i think they know they were under threat ,

I did do a quick test on the mushkin to see how tight they would run and they did 2-3-2-8@1T at ddr400
