Super Talent?

Anyone heard of these guys?

I think this might be some real good stuff for Conroe.

Check out the Phoronix review that just got posted on the [H].

I'd stay away... He told me the chips broke when he tried to remove them from the glue...thats pretty bad. It doesn't seem like that'd be very friendly thermal-wise.

Yeah, but in all fairness, i've had a stick of HyperX that did that, too, FWIW.

I own a pair of these and they do perform really well, especially for the price. Any other memory I've seen that can achieve similar timings are about $100+ more expensive. This is part of a thread I made at another forum:

*Note: Because of my current processor and motherboard (see sig) I can't go over 2.1v for the memory or push the speed of the memory any higher than 667MHz. Even so I bought this pair of modules because I plan upgrading my CPU/mobo when AM2 or Conroe comes out.*

That being said, I am very impressed with the timings the Super Talent 2GB (2 x 1GB)T800UX2GC4 DDR2-800MHz memory can achieve at 667MHz and 1.8v.

I know that tRAS makes very little difference in speed, but still I am quite pleased of how low it can go:

I know the following scores aren't very impressive, but it's mainly because of my crappy CPU.

Oddly enough, I actually achieved the highest benchmarks with 3-3-3-2 timings rather than 3-3-3-1 or any other timing (I tested all tRAS from 8-1).

Check out the complete thread HERE.

From what I've seen other people do in other threads with this memory, it can overclock really well too.

Having once done a build-quality benchmarking evaluation of a number of DDR-I SO-DIMMs, the 'SuperTalent' parts were about the worst-built parts in the group. They ran okay but were amazingly fragile.

Guess they've come a long way since then, cuz these modules are rocking! I can't wait to upgrade to Core 2 Duo so I can really exploit the potential of this memory !

I'm with you.

Just got my "Bad Axe" today, and picked up 4x1GB sticks of this stuff.

We will see what these babies can do, once Conroe comes out.

I'm waiting for the new ASUS Core 2 Duo ready boards to come out.
