RAM suggestion

Price in India?^^^^^

then how do we achieve the 16gb limit if only 2gb module's are available?

Where hv u read this ??

Coz, on the Core i7, the max RAM supported is 12GB (2GBx6 slots)

 

[realdan]

I dnt think so.. u get a max of 2GB RAM stick

Where hv u read this ??

@ashu888ashu88
I am afraid you need to do a lot more readings, ...am much surprised that you dont know these things despite buying the new system based on the new platform

@RMN is correct about his\her logic

then how do we achieve the 16gb limit if only 2gb module's are available?

just because your evga x58 motherboard only support max 12GB memory doesn't mean that it applies to all other motherboard...

for your information ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 Intel X58 support maximum of 24GB of memory...

one stick of 4GB is in the market
G.SKILL 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Quad Kit Desktop Memory

@realdon
tnx

@realdan:

thanx for the update buddy, yup, im still in the process of geting to knw sum new things, I did read the review of tat Asus P6T mobo, and it jus slipped outta my mind..
----------

@RMN: so sorry buddy, my info was incomplete..

G-Skill

F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ(2GB x 2) 800 MHz - - - - Rs.3000

F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI (2GB x 2) 800 MHz - - - - Rs.4000

F2-6400CL4D-4GBPK (2GB x 2) 800 MHz - - - - - Rs4350

F2-8800 CL5D- 4GBPI (2GB x 2) 800 MHz - - - - - 4400

Cud you tell me the difference between the four? Please anybody.

@comp@ddict
im not the best at this but here you go
F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ(2GB x 2) 800 MHz-good ram latency 5-5-5-15,bad OCer
F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI (2GB x 2) 800 MHz-very good RAM,better latency 4-4-4-12 ,better heat spreders,better OCer and you gett couple of cool stickers..OCC had a positive review.

F2-6400CL4D-4GBPK- dont know much but acc to spec i has higher volts,4-4-4-12

F2-8800 CL5D- 4GBPI
CAS_Latency 5-5-5-15
Speed DDR2-1100 (PC2-8800)
Test_Voltage 1.8 ~ 1.9 Volts
PCB 8 Layers PCB ---the others are 6 layers
and just like 6400CL4D-4GBPI has better heat spreaders and stickers.
So after countless hours of benchmarking and sweat, where do we stand with G.Skill's F2-8800CL5D-4GBPI memory kit? The F2-8800CL5D-4GBPI is sort of a mixed bag. On the bright side, with stock speeds of DDR-1100 at a miserly 1.9V, you don't have to worry about the memory not having enough voltage while booting up that you can run into with some higher voltage modules. Also factor in a supported FSB of 550Mhz, this kit should make most casual overclockers happy.

On the down side, overclocking wasn't quite what I expected out of this kit as it didn't respond at all to higher voltage and actually seemed to become more unstable if you pushed more than 1.9V into it.

To sum things up, the F2-8800CL5D-4GBPI is a good kit as long as you don't expect too much above stock speeds. However, with attractive heatspreaders and even more attractive prices of DDR2, this is a great kit to add 4 gigabytes of memory for very little dough

i say,if you are no OCing go for F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ 800 MHz
anf if you are F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI 800 MHz

 

[comp@ddict]

and if you are F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI 800 MHz

Thanks mate for that info.
And i'm for this one surely.

btw just check the review

and maybe just wait for some more suggestions...

oh

RMN, this came to my mind just now. I don't need the RAM for OCing, I'm planning on the Phenom II X4 940 B.E., I'll be simply increasing the multiplier for OCing, not the bus speed.

So now where do we stand,
1. 4-4-4-12 CAS latency DDR2 800MHz
or
2. 5-5-5-15 CAS latency DDR2 1100MHz(are u sure, or is it 1066MHz?)

Note:- We have to keep in mind that the performance increase when switching from 5-5-5-15 DDR2 667MHz to 5-5-5-15 DDR2 800MHz on an AMD platform gave 6% improvement in performance.
Whereas when 4-4-4-12 DDR2 800MHz was used instead of 5-5-5-15 DDR2 800MHz, there was a phenomenal 17% improvement.

So now where do we stand, a faster DDR2 1100MHz or a low latency DDR2 800MHz, keeping in mind AMD platform favours lower latencies than higher speeds more.


That's the reason DDR3 AM3 Phenom CPUs don't give more than 5% increase in performance since DDR3 RAM latency is way higher than DDR2.

hmm...sry im a noob at OCing...

Whereas when 4-4-4-12 DDR2 800MHz was used instead of 5-5-5-15 DDR2 800MHz, there was a phenomenal 17% improvement.

well then the obvious choice should be 4-4-4-12 DDR2 800MHz right?
i don't think 1066MHZ has a great performance increase compared to 800...im not sure at all though.

and yeah the other RAM is 1100mhz i have hyper linked the official page on my earlier post.

but take a look here *www.bit-tech.net/hardware/memory/2008/10/27/low-latency-ddr2-800mhz-versus-1066mhz/1

 

[comp@ddict]

Thnx a ton on the info.

Well, will decide nxt month, cuz it luks neck to neck.

So it really doesn't matter, both are same performance.
