xXPuntoXx Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hi guys, im running a AMD Athlon X2 4400+ with the Asus A8N SLi Deluxe M'Board, ive found some memory but im wondering which one would be best and also how much of it. Im a 3d animator/special effects so i do alot of rendering and video editing. The memory is the TWINX2048-3200C2, the TWINX2048-3200PT or the TWINX2048-3200PRO. I would be looking to use either a single pair (2gb) or 2 pairs (4gb), any help would be great! thanks - Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 19, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 19, 2006 I would stick with One Twinx2048-3500LL set of modules for best performance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXPuntoXx Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hi Ram Guy, nice to meet you. Currently i can only get hold of the 3 types of memory i stated above, Which of those three would be best? thanks - Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 TWINX2048-3200C2 would outperform the other two models mentioned, which are identical in performance to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 20, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 20, 2006 I would agree Twinx2048-3200C2 would be the best choice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXPuntoXx Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 OK guys your input is much appreciated, will 2 pairs of Twinx2048-3200C2 work with my m'board? also if i was able to get hold of some Twinx2048-3500LL how much better is it to the Twinx2048-3200C2? and is the Twinx2048-3500LL the same thing as Twinx2048-3500LLPRO?, thanks - Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXPuntoXx Posted September 20, 2006 Author Share Posted September 20, 2006 any ideas guys? i only have a few days left to get it, im in a terrible rush. thanks! - Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 21, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 21, 2006 I would not suggest more than one set of modules for best performance. And if you plan on over clocking I would suggest you go with Twinx2048-3500LL hands down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXPuntoXx Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 OK guys ive made a mistake its the TWINX2048-3200PT i can get hold of and not the TWINX2048-3200C2, whats the difference anyway? also how come you suggested the TWINX2048-3200C2 over the TWINX2048-3200PRO which is more expensive. thankyou - Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 22, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 22, 2006 Cas 3-3-3-8 for XMS3200 and Cas 2-3-3-6 for XMS3200C2 is the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXPuntoXx Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Thanks for that Ram Guy great stuff! one last question, Twinx2048-3200C2 is $266 and Twinx2048-3500LLPRO is $326, is it worth the extra dollars for the Twinx2048-3500LLPRO considering that i wont be overclocking. thankyou! - Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted September 22, 2006 Corsair Employee Share Posted September 22, 2006 If you do not plan one over clocking then maybe not, but the perfomance difference is about 2-6% depending on the make and model of MB and CPU that you will have and the PSU you will use.

Wired Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 you're only running the new memory, correct? Go into the bios: CAS Latency (tCL): 2 RAS to CAS Delay (tRCD): 3 Row Precharge (tRP): 3 Active to Precharge Delay (tRAS): 6 Memory Voltage: 2.7-2.8 Volts (Warrantied up to, but not over, 2.90 volts) All other settings to defaults.

xXPuntoXx Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Hey there Wired, thanks for the input. Yes i am only using my new memory, ive changed the settings and everything seems to be running great.
