    OC Q6600, what ram? Need advice pls.

    no, that doesn't mean it can handle 533FSB. supporting DDR1066 just means you can run DDR1066 at stock CPU frequencies through use of CPU:RAM ratio (aka 266*9 / 1:2 = 2400MHz / 533MHz [DDR1066]). i can guarantee that you won't be running 533FSB with a quadcore CPU...yo will be extremely lucky...

    How to Setup 1:1 ratio

    you guys, CPU-Z is clearly showing that he is running 1:2, not 1:1. if you look at the CPU tab, i bet it is only running 200MHz FSB and thus his memory is running 400MHz which in fact is DDR800, but he is still running 1:2. this is 1:1: what is interesting to me is the fact that the BIOS...

    2gbx2 or 1gbx4

    yeah, our little MHz VS DDR frequency police are out in full force with the two of us on the prowl. we just need to fire off some e-mails to memory manufacturers to get them to quite advertising 1200MHz DDR2 modules ;) as for the actual topic of this post...i have personal experience trying to...

    OC Report :: Buffalo FireStix 2x1GB PC2-9600 C5

    you bet i can ;) without too much effort, i was able to drop from 2.10v set in BIOS (2.12v DMM) to 2.05v in BIOS (2.06v~2.07v DMM). 600MHz :: 2.07v i could not get 600MHz to pass dual 32M at 2.00v BIOS (2.02v DMM). obviously i just spent the last couple hours since you posted to try so...

    OC Report :: Buffalo FireStix 2x1GB PC2-9600 C5

    The FireStix are back for round two and this time they came packing heat. Buffalo Technology has developed a fairly well known brand with their FireStix line of memory and really gotten their foot in the door with the enthusiast. They were known as one of the better values throughout...

    OC Report :: Buffalo Firestix 2x1GB PC8000 C5

    thanx for the positive comments guys. i received these modules from Buffalo in early Januarary i believe so they are not that old. of course that doesn't mean that every kit of their PC8000 is going to be D9GKX but it will be at least D9GMH which is just as good or better in most cases.

    Memtest86+

    ^^^ the exact same recipe i use when testing for long term stability. every kit is different and it never seems to be the same program to always fail so you will definitely want to run each and every one.

    OC Report :: Buffalo Firestix 2x1GB PC8000 C5

    correct, but what is your point? the sticker has an error on it, big deal. it is missing a 0 to make it PC8000 not PC6400. the PC8000 modules are Buffalos highest binned 2GB kit. both of these sticks are definitely the PC8000 modules, your trying to make too much out of a sticker misprint and...

    OC Report :: Buffalo Firestix 2x1GB PC8000 C5

    sorry mate but your not making any sense. the ICs are the same, check the photos. trust me, both sticks are the same...right down to the date of manufacturing for the ICs (6AD22). in fact, the older heatspreader stick clocks better than the other, thats why its in the outside slot ;)

    OC Report :: Buffalo Firestix 2x1GB PC8000 C5

    Buffalo Technologies isn't going to be the first name many of you think of when coming up with memory manufacturers that produce high-end overclocking RAM. They are however starting to really make their presence known in the enthusiast sector with high-quality memory kits at some of the most...

    what is the best ddr2 (800) 2gb kit for overclocking

    if your going to be running a Commando w/X6800, the ultimate fastest setup would require DDR1000 4-4-4-8 so you can run the 4:5 divider at 400FSB or less. of course running the 2:3 divider at DDR1200 or less would be faster but only marginally and for an astronomical difference in price. all...

    Remove Firestix heatspreaders

    of all the modules i have removed heatspreaders from, the Firestix are among the easiest. they use the thick grey thermal tape that is pretty easy to remove. the clips on top pop right off and on one set i had, i didn't even need a screw driver, my fingers were able to just pull them up. if...

    Memory : Corsair vs TeamGroup

    both the 6400 C4Ds and Team Xtreme Dark are Promos based. the main differences are that the Dominator has that big heatspreader where as the Team Dark come with their simple blue aluminum heatspreader. the Team Dark use an 8-layer PCB, the 6400 C4Ds only 6 AKAIK. i have had both the Team...
