128mb Mosel Vitelic Rev2 7ns PC133 Cas2 $75.00 + shipping

[OJ]

Seems like a good deal on Great Ram, shipping to my addy was $5.00.
This is the same ram going in the sale/trade forum for high 80's.
This ram is Cas2 to 143Mhz, said by many.

Just thought you might what to know.

<edit> just noticed they take Paypal also

Will this work on older motherboards?
I have ASUS P2L97 (66Mhz bus?)

 

[Garster]

I've been stocking up on this same memory,been buying a little from a few different places and this memory is good beyond 150 fsb(cas 2).I've purchased about 5 or 6 and all run over 150 fsb.I'm not to keen on synthenic benchmarks but these's modules have the highest bandwidth i've seen in my experince.

That is NOT rev 2 guys....

 

[OJ]

John, the numbers they show are the same as Skorp's ram he says is &quot;Rev2&quot;.

If this is not correct, please let us know.

Thanks

 

[kylebisme]

rev2 is a mushkin thing, if its not from mushkin it isn't rev-anything

 

[Ben88]

I think the revisions have to do with the design of the pcb and the guaranteed speed. I'm pretty sure they use the same chips, but it is not the same board.

 

[LukFilm]

Who cares what revision it is? &quot;Revision&quot; is only for marketing purposes and to make believe that it's something more special than the memory here. If both of them do 150MHz FSB CL2, who cares? I'll buy the cheaper and be content that I am a smart shopper. Sorry John, had to vent here.

 

[John]

Vent all you want guys, but Rev 2 is in reference to the PCB, not the chips.

 

[K-squared]

It was my understanding that Muskin does not produce any of their own RAM modules including &quot;Mosel&quot; REV2 DIMMs - they're simply a reseller that tests and certifies the ram modules as being PC133 CL2 (Cas 2-2-2) - which given the quality of these DIMMs is not too difficult to do. And since they now see a large number of people running (and reviewing) their REV2's at 150+MHz FSB, Mushkin is (now) certifying hand-picked DIMMs (again, picked from DIMMs they purchase/resell but do not make) as their &quot;new&quot; Muskin REV3 DIMMs that they guarantee to PC150 CL2.

edit - If Mushkin were actually making their own DIMM modules, then why do they only have the same modules as everyone else - that is, no 64MB nor 256MB Mosel REV2 modules? I'm sure that once they get a large enough &quot;lot&quot; of pre-tested Mosel REV2 DIMMs that they can guarantee at 160 FSB, they'll &quot;release&quot; the new and improved &quot;128MB Mushkin High Perf REV4 PC160 222&quot; SDRAM modules.

 

[jimmygates]

Uh...new REV 3 Ram from Mushkin use Infineon chips and not Mosel?


-Jimbo

 

[Slash3]

Yes, that they do. &quot;Rev3&quot; just means Mushkin picked out some good sticks using Infineon chips. It's a stupid naming convention, since it's completely unconnected to what they previously called &quot;Rev 1.5&quot; and &quot;Rev 2&quot; (Mosel Vitelic chips). I've purchased four sticks of this memory from KD Computers over the past few months, it's all performing great.

 

[CADbad]

Great!

 

[kylebisme]

i just got my 2 sticks and the SPD reports:
Apacer Technology MS388L 1664S PC133
128MB 16x(8Mx8) SDRAM PC133U-333-
542(CL3 upto 133MHz)(CL2 upto 100MHz)

however spd ratings arn't always the best thing to go by,
i wish i could tell you what i can push them to but thats a diffrent thread. feel free to check out mystrious bios my problem, once i get help i'll be back with the results on this ram.

 

[kylebisme]

fixed the mobe, fan header power issue. anyway have the ram running at 148 cas2 turbo right now
