A couple of questions for those Northwood Overclockers using rdram @ 133fsb

[lastig21]

What brand and # of device Rimms are you using? Where did you order your memory from? What is the highest fsb your ram is able to reach?

2x 512mb Samsung PC800 RIMMs @ 1280MHz (160fsb)

up for some more input

Hmmmm was going to tell you..............but, I think you already know!

Samsung

only Samsung.

i am finally jumping on the p4 bandwagon

I know that Samsung is the brand of choice, but there are 8 device rimms and 16 device rimms (single sided or double sided). I'm trying to figure out if there are any overclocking differences between the two, and what is the highest fsb that can be reached with both types.

well, as far as SDRAM goes, single-sided modules overclock better...i'd imagine rimms work similarly.

2 x 128mb Samsung PC800 RIMMs on 137(FSB) that is stable enough to run 3DMark
along with other benchies, but can't game there very long.

3DMark compare for those that are interested in that kind of stuff

Have the max setting in bios for the RAM (400MHz), no beeps yet and I'm at the end
of the line on my chip (2.0a) 20x multiplier, until some better cooling methods are applied.
Currently air-cooled on a volt modded TH7-II i850 @ 1.85v....

Nope, it doesn't work the same way. The single sided modules use newer double density RDRAM that doesn't overclock nearly as well. The single-density double-sided Samsung modules are the best for overclocking by far. These are sold by Googlegear.com for $80.

Corsair may not overclock as well (if its not relabeled Samsung modules). You need not only the Samsung single density chips, but the Samsung PCB as well.

hmmm

i was also curious as to the effects of dual channel on overclocking...
