Corsair XMS PC3200 and Corsair XMS PC3200 Low Latency together?

DriveEuro · Feb 9, 2003, 10:40 PM

Can it be done? Well, I know it can be done. But if I mix a non Low Latency stick with a latency stick I may mave problems getting good timings? Cuz I will be limited to my slowest stick.... Let me hear your two cents.

DaSnIpE · Feb 10, 2003, 05:12 AM

They're almost the same sticks, I wouldn't worry, just one's been tested @ that speed while the other hasn't. Both my xms3200c2 256 sticks do 200 FSB Dual Channel @ 2-2-2-6

WyreTheWolf · Feb 10, 2003, 05:14 AM

Shouldnt be a problem, Corsair XMS memory can run at insane speeds, but the memory timings (other than CAS) needs to be set pretty low. Corsair actually recommends that you use fairly slow timings (even on the low latency versions).

so just have fun with it... Both sticks of memory are capable of insane speeds... Good Luck!

DriveEuro · Feb 10, 2003, 05:25 AM

I don't have it yet. I just found someplace that has it CHEAP.

DriveEuro, where did you see it? At what price? I'm somewhat interested in getting some decent non-OCZ RAM sometime soon...

DriveEuro · Feb 10, 2003, 05:33 AM

ebay

DaSnIpE · Feb 10, 2003, 07:39 PM

www.googlegear.com has usually the best prices on Corsair Ram, so check there 2.

DriveEuro · Feb 10, 2003, 07:41 PM

Yeah, Low Latency is 92.50$ there... Bids on ebay are currently 61$, and 51$. I saw a stick of Low Latency go for $72 the other day. With just like 5$ for shipping.

choppy9er · Mar 2, 2003, 11:19 PM

I believe the 3200LL has 5ns chips,instead of the Winbond 6ns that the 3200C2 has.I have been reading about the significant compatibility problems with the SPD on Nvidia N-Force 2 chipsets.Choppy

DriveEuro · Mar 2, 2003, 11:22 PM

Oh, well thanks, but I figured this out prolly two days after I posted this. I just have 2x256 Low Latency now. If I clear CMOS then try to boot with the Low Latency then it WILL NOT BOOT. I have to use a cheapo stick of PC2100 to boot. Change RAM timings in bios, save. Shutdown. change ram then it works.

choppy9er · Mar 2, 2003, 11:27 PM

Yep,I just bought the same ram,about to build a NF7-S box,I imagine Abit and Nvidia will have a good working bios for this soon.Choppy

DriveEuro · Mar 2, 2003, 11:32 PM

Yeah, they don't have a working bios yet. Just asus. ASUS is the only nForce2 board that has the problem solved.

choppy9er · Mar 2, 2003, 11:37 PM

Did you get your board from Excaliber,they have that bios savior kit.Thats where I'm probably going to buy mine.Are you running bios 15?Choppy

DriveEuro · Mar 2, 2003, 11:43 PM

uh, nah, I got it from newegg. I took the gamble and got the 1.2

Madgoat1979 · Mar 2, 2003, 11:49 PM

if I were looking to buy a NF2 board....

What would be the best board to buy?

(I DONT want onboard video)....

????

Thanks...

Abit NF7-S revision is the nicest right now for stock options. The Epox 8RDA+ is the best once you Vmod it.

Nuke209 · Mar 3, 2003, 04:25 AM

asus a7n8x deluxe is great, though, i rather wait for revision 1.05
