Performance Comparisons
Performance of the OCZ EL PC4000 VX Gold was compared to all of the memory recently tested on the AMD Athlon 64 platform. While we did not test on an Intel platform, the performance results can also be generally compared to previous benchmark results on the Intel 875 memory test bed.

Hi I would like to know if u think that thoose dimms could be enough cooled by a 120 mm fan in extraction and a 120 mm fan from a power suplyBecause i would like to put thoose dimm in antec Sonata and as it's a small case i don't know if i will have enough space to put a fan

Figured it out, seems like the cpu speed plays a role here. 2.25 ghz maxes out at 6600-6700. 2.34 gets 6900-7000. I wonder if going even higher will set a new bandwidth record.OCedHrt - Tuesday, March 22, 2005 - link
Hmm, I can't seem to duplicate the results here and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have 2 sticks of pc3200 ocz vx and a dfi ultra (non-sli). I have the ram running at ddr500 at 2-2-6-2 T1 @3.3v and sandra reports a bandwidth of 6000-6100. The weird part is that sandra reports a timing of 2T but if I drop the timing from 1T to 2T in the bios, the results drop to 5700 so I'm pretty sure 1T is enabled. Any ideas?zumbi9in - Saturday, March 19, 2005 - link
I would like you to help me with a MotherBoard/RAM question.I’m about to buy a DFI Lanparty NFORCE 4 Ultra MB with 2 GB of RAM.
This machine will be for audio sampling and recording, and some gaming too J
I’m worried if it can run 2 GB of RAM at DDR400, I don’t know if it will drop the memory speed with this config.
I would like to buy 4x512 KINGSTON PC3200 ULTRA LL 2-2-2-5, but as they are double sided, maybe they will run at DDR333
The 2nd option would be 2x1024 of OCZ memory PC 3200 3-3-3-7 OCZ4001024PF, is its performance good with this latency?
I have searched lots of forums and didn’t find a final word about this issue.
What would be the best performance choice? Do you think it can work?
Thank you very much,
Alexandre Zumbi.

#60-iirc, the dfi was tuned for tccd and bh-5/vx.
other stuff that overclocks somewhat does terribly on the dfi, that includes ballistix's micron 5b-g chips.

hmm...good performance, but also a lot of questions. How well does ballistix do on the mobo?Quanticles - Wednesday, March 9, 2005 - link
For everyone hung up on the on-board memory controller...The motherboard will make a difference for the on-board memory controller, not because of the chipset, but due to the characteristics of the routing. The type of material used, the thickness and width of the copper traces, and how well the traces are matched in length, will all make a huge difference in signal integrity. Even differences in what layers of the board you route to make a difference, and what power plains they're coupled against are. The list goes on...
DFI put a lot more effort into their routing, and it makes a significant difference.

#56 - Wow. Thanks for pointing this out. This review is bogus. I hope that you cc'd Mr. Shimpi on that e-mail.
