To the point ? Care to point out which part is not to the point I am just trying to put plain simple facts and truth forward

Did I ever say Elpida was better than Micron D9's, NO WAY!!
But they are so cheap!!! and hit 1000. That's what I was complementing it for, If it was not for low cost chips, we'd still not be able to afford 2x1Gb DDR2-800 and above. and now what??? DDR2-800 is selling for 150$.

Now look at the current scenario and u will realize that why is their chips kinda good, because c2d is the talk of the day, and there is a slight drop in performance if we are not using 1:1 on the platform, say If we are running FSB 266, benchmarks show that 533Mhz is better than deviating from 1:1 and using 667 (xbitlabs), but 800Mhz will give higher performance, but now look at the overclockers, they will typically run FSB 450-500, and with ram at 1:1 it's like 900-1000Mhz, where Elpida gives good timings, and is cheap. There is actually no point in using divider to run ram at 1100Mhz, because there will be hardly any performance gain, if any, and the extra premium cost of Microns suddenly does not seem all that good, and hence my comment.

That was something I really did not know, thanks there buddy.

Most of the Performance yet cheapo DDR2 800 kits have Promos and not Elpida
Some 1000 parts that are cheap use Elpida,Geil has a kit like that

Lol.....sleepy re

Hey, BTW thanks again for that Buffalo Firestix thing, coz I just got 1 for friend, and was going to get 1 for myself, sourced it from somewhere, but now I will watch out, what a perfect time for u to let me know this....

(BTW where'd u see Elpida based Firestx man???)

Some guy on XS was reporting.Anyways since their PCB is crap....why buy it,IMHO Crucial Ballistix is THE thing to get,look how cheap it has gone.

DDR2 1000 Ballistix kit for 189$ after MIR !!!!

That kit does 1100 4-3-3-12

and will hit 1200 easily.....

[Kniwor]

yeah, but I dont really want to pay extra for that, I will be running my ram 1:1, and prolly 1000Mhz will be enough for me, I was just looking at getting good timings, 4-4-4-12@1000 kinda....

Hmmm 1000 @ 4-4-4-12 ....Micron is good choice with GMH n GKX.GMH is better though cos it handles volts well and 4-4-4-12 will need some volts for sure

I say get Crucial,you wont regret it 189$ is a steal

[Kniwor]

rebate is a problem for me....but it's still a good deal, I was thinking about it before actually.
but Geil Ultra is like $140 and does 1000, but only god knows what chip it is, so I was kinda confused and didn't wanna get them.

here's what I can get though, a sure D9 + G.Skill's international warranty
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231065

[darklord]

Why not these ?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231114

They are HIGH bin Promos and clock insanely !

Or this
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231065

Legendary but newer ones have seen D9GCT but mostly GMH only

[Kniwor]

hmmm.... I can get those, good choice, but then OCZ Platinum Rev 2 is $159, and clock very well too.
(it's $135 after rebate If i manage to get it)

IF you are thinking about OCZ, get the 8500 series or 8800 only cos they are guranteed D9.OCZ keeps changing chips with their RAM like people change their.....err you know what

Ddont get wrong Ideas, all that is after rebate, look at the actual prices, they're higher, still cheap though.

Yep, after Rebate i know, but what luck. Soon guys would be selling at these prices on Ebay International and i would order then


Talking about rebate...yesterday Lexmark E450Dn Duplex Networked Workgroup Class Laser Printer was selling for free after 350$ Rebate. I was like WTF

[mumbaiite123]

I think prem sharma is right. ZION does deserve a mention alongside Corsair.they do give excellent quality rams.
