hi.

 

ive seen hundreds of forum posts and everyone seems to recommend the TWINX1024RE-3200LL for the SK8v ..

 

HOWEVER .. i have found that the CM72SD512RLP-3200 is Registered + ECC. but for a fraction of the price...

 

CM72SD512RLP-3200 is $234 for 1GB

 

Manufacturer: CORSAIR

Speed: DDR400(PC3200)

Type: 184-Pin DDR SDRAM

Error Checking: ECC

Registered/Unbuffered: Registered

Cas Latency: 2.5

Support Voltage: 2.6V

Bandwidth: 3.2GB/s

Organization: 64M x 72-Bit

Warranty: Lifetime

 

TWINx1024RE-3200LL is $383 for 1GB

 

Manufacturer: Corsair

Speed: DDR400(PC3200)

Type: 184 Pin DDR SDRAM

Error Checking: ECC

Registered/Unbuffered: Registered

Cas Latency: 2-3-2-6

Support Voltage: 2.6V

Bandwidth: 3.2GB/s

Organization: two 64M x 64 -Bit

Special Features: Low Latency

Warranty: Lifetime

 

 

The only two differances appear to be that the TWINX1024 has 64 - bit whereas the cheaper RAM has 72-bit ..

 

and the Cas Latency .. TWINX1024 : 2-3-2-6 || CHEAPER :2.5

 

i dont know what either of that means, could someone tell me about the bit/cas latency please?

 

and then hopefully post a conclusion . Is the TWINX worth the extra $150?? and will the cheaper RAM work in a SK8v with a FX-51 ??

 

thank you so much.

First off Twinx sets are 2 modules for the price. And come with heat spreaders and would be tested Cass 2-3-2-6 at DDR400 where as CM72SD512RLP-3200 would be JEDEC compliant Cass 3-3-3-8 with out heat spreaders.
