myosick Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I play a lot of the new Memory Hungry Games.... BF2, Quake 4 etc. and want to upgrade to 2Gb of Ram. Where would I get the best results???? adding another pair of TWINX1024-4400, or pulling them and going to TWINX2048-4000 ?????:confused: I know if I add another set of TWINX1024, I will get forced to 2T. I dropped from 275 FSB to 242 in order to get 1T command rate and noticed an improvement. I currently have the following setup: Asus A8N-E AMD Athlon 4000+ EVGA 7800GT 250GB SATA2 TWINX 1024-4400C25 (1GB) Speeds: CPU FREQ = 242Mhz multiplier X11 (2662Mhz) CPUV=1.5 Hyper T = X4 (968Mhz) TWINX1024-4400 CAS 2.5 Tras 6 Trcd 3 Trp 3 1T/2T= 1T C'MON you guys.... whadda you think?:D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 16, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 16, 2005 If you go to 4 modules I doubt you would be able to over clock as much as you are now and you may be limited to DDR333 at 2T Command Rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'd pull them and go with a pack of TWINX2048-4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myosick Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Since I couldn't get my CPU-MOBO setup to run at 1T at anything faster than 242Mhz... how would the TWINX2048-3500LLPRO work:roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 17, 2005 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 17, 2005 The module part numer does not matter, if you install more than 2 double sided module you would be limited to 2T Command Rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Since I couldn't get my CPU-MOBO setup to run at 1T at anything faster than 242Mhz... how would the TWINX2048-3500LLPRO work:roll: Of all the options available, IMO the PC3500LL 2048mb kit is the best option for your listed goals. Supposedly, the command rate is determined by the number of DIMMs/ranks addressed, not necessarily the memory bus speed even though bus speed may play into it when OCing. However, with the PC3500LL you can run 1T and the low latencies which is best for gaming applications. I am not sure the 3500LL will run 242mhz. It may or may not but, I'm sure you'd have to loosen the timings to do it "if" it will. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
