apunig Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 First of all, sorry if this topic is like beating a dead horse. I am running a MSI Neo2 Fis2r 865pe motherboard with Twinx1024-3200llpt as a graphics intense workstation. I browsed the forums but I couldn't find the answer for my specific question. I would like to bump up the memory to 2 gb, but I noticed the llpt series has been discontinued for about 2 years. So far I've narrowed it to my IC's are Samsung TCCD. Knowing it's not recommended to mix and match modules, by chance would it be possible to pair my existing Twinx1024-3200llpt with Twinx1024-3200xl since the IC's are supposedly the same? If not, what problems will they propose? Instability? :confused: Also, I remember reading 2 pairs of Twinx on a setup are a no-no. Please explain.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 24, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 24, 2006 You can try it, but I doubt the MB will be able to run at the tested settings, you may have to set the timings to Cas 2.5-3-3-7 at 2.8 Volts to make the system stable. I would suggest just replacing the modules you have now with one Twinx2048-3500LL for best performance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apunig Posted October 24, 2006 Author Share Posted October 24, 2006 :D: Thanks Ram Guy! Your solution was my next best bet, to upgrade to a single pair of 2 gb and take the burn for my existing memory. Anyhow, I was looking into either the Twinx2048-3500LLPRO (2-3-2-6-T1) or the Twinx2048-3200C2/PT (2-3-3-6-T2) . I don't see the non-pro LL's anywhere... For my graphics usage, would there be a significant difference between the LL, LLPRO, C2/PT? I am drooling over the 3500LLPRO, also because my jaw dropped once I saw the price @ the limited resellers. :eek: Now I am at the crossroads... Would it be wiser to upgrade now or later? Should I spend nearly $400 for LL or $285 for C2 for my existing system? Or should save up to build a better system in the near future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 25, 2006 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 25, 2006 These questions are hard to answer because there are some things I don’t know and you may not either. But to kind of high light some things, If you are an over clocker or you plan on over clocking I would suggest Twinx2048-3500LL other wise you may not be happy end result. However, if you have not over clocked before and just want to dabble in over clocking then Twinx2048-3200C2 may be a good choice, not as much cost but still a little margin to play with. And if you will not over clock at all I would consider VS2GBKit400C3 and save your money for the new or next system! But its totally your choice and I am here to help you no matter what you decide!
