Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 3, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 3, 2004 Should be fine, but the speed of the CPU you use will be the biggest factor in running these modules at the rated speed. 2.4C suggested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMoloney Posted March 3, 2004 Author Share Posted March 3, 2004 Thanks RAMGuy I am going to be utilizing the Intel Pentium 4/ 3.0C GHz 800MHz FSB, 512KB L2 Cache Will the proposed memory function as designed or will I run into stability/capability issues?

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted March 4, 2004 Corsair Employees Share Posted March 4, 2004 These module will be compatible, but I really dout that a 2.8C or faster CPU would be able to run at the Freq required to run these modules. You might consider Twinx1024-3200Pro instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are suggesting that I utilize the Corsair Twinx1024-3200 LL Pro (I do not see a 3200Pro listed by itself) with the Intel 2.4C Ghz processor (This has 512KB L2cache?)? I am proposing to utilize the Asus P4C800-E Deluxe. Can you give me any ideas of how high I shoudl be able to OC this puppy (2.4C)?

Yellowbeard Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 This link may help. [url]http://www.asusforums.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24[/url] Generally, the 3.0c CPUs won't OC to 250mhz which is the stock frequency of the PC4000. The slower CPUs (2.4c, 2.6c, and 2.8c) will generally OC better with the 2.4c being considered the best OCer of the bunch by far. So, if you want a 3.0c CPU, you won't get full usage of the PC4000 RAM. That is why RAM GUY suggested that you go with the PC3200C2 Pro. I would add the PC3200LL Pro also or the non-Pro version of either. The PC3200 runs at 200mhz which is much closer to the 3.0c will run. If you want the PC4000 RAM, I'd suggest a 2.4c, a 2.6c, or "possibly" a 2.8c. You will have a much better chance of fully utilizing the RAM at 250mhz+. Good luck, Mike.
