garyh Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I used a TWIN2X12024A-5400UL pair when I built my machine in September 05. I love the performance I'm getting out of these parts at 2.1v and I would like to add another pair to my machine to bring it up to 2GB. However, I can't find any vendor with the 5400UL DIMMs in stock or even on the price list. Everything seems to be 5400C which has very different timings. Even NewEgg where I bought the first set doesn't list the 5400UL SKU any more. So my questions are: 1. Can you recommend a vendor for TWIN2X12024A-5400UL? 2. What other Corsair product would be a compatable substitution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyh Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 OK RAM Guy, I'm in the business so I understand the semiconductor grading, yield and allocation problem. The question is: What are my options for adding another GB? 1. Is there another Corsair part, perhaps one made for a faster clock rate, that I can run at the 5400UL timings at 675MHz (and 2.1v since I cant set the voltages independantly). 2. If there is no other part available that can be run at the 5400UL timings/675/2.1, where do I have to back the timings off too to match up with the next fastest parts that ARE available? 3. Is bus loading going to become an issue when I add the second pair (of whatever) and if so what timings would you recommend as compensation?
