New!!! DDR666MHz

CaptainComputer · 08-06-2003, 02:52 PM

I just came across memory from OCgeilair that can run at DDR 666MHz at just 7-7-7.

Hey wait a minute those are the same specs as my fertilizer (:-þ)

First of all: double posting isn't allowed according to the forum rules. I have deleted the duplicates.

Second, does this post have anything to do with reality or are you just having some sort of fun? (In which case I'll delete this post too) If it's real, post a link instead of writing something strange and leaving it at that.

I deleted your previous posts since you didn't have any link or anything in the post and therefore I judged it to be spam (no company named OCgeilair exists for example).

If you want to have fun, post in the Open Chat Zone.

Of course he is messing around.

We are barely seeing DDR500. I think we can all safely bet against the idea that DDR666 is out all of a sudden.

Yeah, hence me deleting the previous posts.

But since that hint didn't seem to hit home, I figured I'd let him explain himself. I could have put him in the Penalty Box directly, but figured I'd be a nice guy today.

CaptainComputer does make a valid point, even if his method of doing so is a bit different.

The comparison to fertilizer is appropriate with the marketing releases of "faster" memory that is the same stuff we have been buying for awhile with super relaxed timings. It isn't actually faster in any real applications, it just costs more. DDR666 with 10-10-10-15 timings anyone?

OC(z)-geil-(cors)air are probably not far from releasing it.

**k0NG0** · 08-06-2003, 04:19 PM

Ah, now I see. Didn't get that one. Making a point is so much easier when done in a coherent way without possibility of being mistaken for spam, though

.

As I sit here with my CAS3 PC133 memory I can't help but smile reading all the posts on how you can get over 4000MB/s in Sandra and things like that.

What is even funnier (sad actually) is that Sandra and Aida synthetic mem benches are the only things that show any benefit to this memory. Real applications show little to none, sometimes a performance decrease due to the high latency.

Why do people care so much about a meaningless benchmark?

Just look at the ORB and see what ram they are all using in the top 5 places...

Also all my folding and seti benchmarking has proven to me what sandra and memtest86 is saying also....the huge bandwidth IS making a diference.

If you don't want to play at ddr500 2-3-3-6 then don't...I can, and quite enjoy doing so...

CaptainComputer · 08-06-2003, 05:08 PM

Thanks oldfart for both getting my joke about todays RAM marketing practices and for going up to bat for me with kONGO.

And to kONGO thanks for being such a nice guy today. Sorry but I thought the point of my post was obvious and was intended to give everyone a well deserved chuckle. This is a great forum and I like to contribute when I can, even if it's simply to make others smile.

P.S. OCZ+GEIL+Corsair=OCgeilair

I might have been particularly thick today, who knows. Maybe I'm the only one who didn't get what was really meant by the post

.

Anyways, we're on track with the discussion now, so all is well.

DDR500 2-3-3-6 is more like it. What mem will run that? Got a link? I'd be interested in checking it out.
