Is your cooling all stock?
Yup, everything is stock...
Thanx man. I updated you.:)
I'm about to order a gig of PC4000 memory.
Trying to decide to go with Corsair or Geil. Or maybe even OCZ if I can find the OCZ for $320 like I can the others.
Any input?

I've always used corsair but it seems like Geil or OCZ might be clockin higher these days.
I almost hit the buy button on the Corsair but now I'm checking out some stuff over at xtremesystems and the corsair doesn't appear to be too popular over there.
Blah PC4000 is crap... Its CL3.0... Now if they release PC4000 at 2-3-3-6 or 2-2-2-5 then I would consider going to it.. But right now it appears to be nothing more then slightly faster memory of their PC3500 model...
Not worth it IMO...
Yes but I can swap over my PC3500 to this for only $60.
And the CL rating really doesn't mean squat on Canterwood boards. Memory speed is more important than the CL rating.
Uh huh if you say so :D However in my experience that is not true.. Even on a Canterwood board!
For example the difference in Sandra from 2.5CL to 2.0CL is about 300 points...
So with that in mind.. You statement is not correct :D
Yeah but you can't take Sanda mem bench as gospel.
There are many instances showing increased actual performance even though Sandra mem says otherwise.
True.. But it is the benchmark of choice for most hardcore people :D
Also if you noticed the stock voltage on the Corsair PC4000 is 2.75v now not 2.5 :D :D :D
SO IMO its garbage... Not worth the cash to buy over PC3500
EDIT:
Not to mention that PC3500 can hit PC4000 and up with some decent voltage and relaxed settings.. Some people with PC3000 are getting over DDR500 with 3.0v...
Geils PC4000 has timings of CAS 2.5 7-4-4
EEEWW... Geil memory sucks!
But you will get whatever you want :D
The guys at xtremesystems.org are recommending A-data PC4000.
I wouldn't say that geil sux.
And??? They are not golden :D
They are not the know it alls... :D
The A-Data PC4000 seems to be actually PC4000 quality chips and not o/ced chips. Seems like they're doing 520-530MHz pretty well.
BTW, vertices, you'll be getting a review from me any minute now... Just gotta read it over and stuff. :D
Where can you buy this A-data?
And yes...the guys at XS are pretty knowing in what mem is clocking the best Big C.
Who else should I ask? You?:D:D:D
Please the people at xtreme are loser... IMO...
Any memory can overclock well with 3.0+ voltage...
BUUUUUUUURN! :DQuote:

And this guy's doing some testing on the A-Data.

Seems like he needs more voltage though.;)
I might just get the Corsair. I'm really wantin the OCZ though. I can't find it anywhere yet though.
Just a cotton-pickin minute there! You guys lost me! Here's the way I see it; and maybe I got it all wrong. CAS 2 is 33% faster than CAS 3, and CAS 2.5 is 25% precent faster no matter what speed it runs at. Thus you must use CAS 3 memory that is at least 34% faster than CAS 2 or 26% faster than CAS 2.5 stuff. That make sense? And are you willing to pay the cost to get to those speeds? Finally, again, the way I see it anyway, PC4000 CAS 3 is only 20% faster than PC3200 CAS 2. You'd need at least a 34% speed advantage over the PC3200 CAS 2 which the PC4000 stuff doesn't have. Even if you could find PC4000 at CAS 2.5 it can't overcome the CAS 2 advantage. So, what's the big deal about speed?
That might be right when you are talking old nonDDR stuff but not anymore.
Latency these days just isn't worth it over higher speeds, at least for the P4Cs.
