I'm torn between two memory choices that I found on sale.
One is a dual-channel set of Kingston PC3700 466mhz Hyper-X 256MBx2 and a single stick of OCZ 512MB PC3200 400mhz. I'm going to use these in my new system with a mobile barton 2500+.
I'm not very adept at reading timings, can somebody help me?
The Kingston's specs:
Programmable Read latency 3 (clock)
Programmable Burst length (2, 4, 8)
Programmable Burst type (sequential & interleave)
Timing Reference: 3-4-4-8-1 at +2.6V
Edge aligned data output, center aligned data input
Auto & Self refresh, 7.8us refresh interval(8K/64ms refresh)
Serial presence detect with EEPROM
High Performance Heat Spreader
PCB : Height 1.250” (31.75mm), double sided component
PERFORMANCE:
Clock Cycle Time (tCK) 5ns (min.) / 10ns (max.)
Row Cycle Time (tRC) 55ns (min.)
Refresh Row Cycle Time (tRFC) 70ns (min.)
Row Active Time (tRAS) 40ns (min.) / 70,000ns (max.)
Power (IDD0) 2.184 W (operating per module)
UL Rating 94 V - 0
Operating Temperature 0 C to 70 C
The OCZ's specs:
- ULN Technology: (U)ltra (L)ow (N)oise shielded PCB
- Copper Heat Spreader
- Lifetime Warranty
- 512MB Module
- CL 2-3-3 2T Timings
- 200(400) MHz
- JEDEC voltage compliant ( 2.6 volt support )
- 184 Pin Dimm
Which one is the better value and performance? They are both relatively the same price at $107 each. It's either these fellas or a stick of generic Ultra 512MB PC3200 from Costco for $60.
