TWINX Dual-Channel Memory Kits
Many of you are asking why this is a good idea. Some of you are implying its a bad idea. Don't any of you FSB OC your computers??? Obviously not, otherwise you would know that running two sticks of ram actually slows things down a tad
That is exactly why its best to OC with one stick. Sticks can vary an amazing amount even if its from the same manufacturer. Having a tested pair ensures that you will still be able to get great ram OC's with aggresive timings while using a pair of chips. In other words you will get the memory bandwith advantage of DCDDR and the ability to push the FSB the way Corsair intends. The only reason I hadn't bought a DCDDR board was because I wouldn't have used two sticks of ram since I wouldn't have been able to keep my FSB where it is with two sticks and remain stable.Quote:
i just tried my sticks independently and both will due 200 mhz synced with a 200 mhz fsb on their own, or with both together in non dual-channel mode (ie in slots 1 and 2). In dual-channel mode, they will not due 200 mhz, but will due 195. btw, i have a A7N8x.

If your not overclocking,
would running in DCDDR be faster?
And is it worth getting faster DDR if your not Overclocking?
Like DDR400 over DDR333?
1. yes, a few percent in most apps. Some apps over 10%.
2. no, you would be running the ram at the same speed in either case. If your fsb is at 333mhz, then you will be running your ram at 333mhz regardless of the rated speed (on a 1:1 divider).
You obviously haven't OCed an NForce2 mobo yet then he he.Quote:

Here's 2 X 512Mb sticks for a total of 1Gb of ram. Have you seen any other chipsets than can OC 1Gb of ram like this? ;)

:eek:
But hey now...you're running Mushkin ;) Not everyone can afford that stuff. :D
I haven't tried that on an NForce2 board yet, but with results like that it might be my next project :). DDR 451 is impressive, out of curiousity what are your ram timings? If they are aggressive with two sticks then that is doubly impressive.Quote:

Say you had 2 x 512mb of ram in a dcddr mobo... would it be comparable to a gig of ram in a normal mobo... or would it only be like 512mb since in a way, its treating the two sticks like one (reading from both?)
2.5-3-3-5 ;)Quote:

No...2 X 512Mb = 1Gb, at least on this planet ;)Quote:

guess that went over your head, sorry
It'd be like 1 gig in a normal mobo, but faster because it's DC.Quote:

ahh i see.
awesome, thanks :)
by all of 1-2%. watch out, that's 30 3dmarks that can be had! :pQuote:
