Anyone running 1Gb RAM on Nforce2 @ 200mhz?

[Elcs]

Im looking forward to an upgrade in the near future and Ive done quite a bit of work on this but Im torn between 2x256mb + something else and 2x512mb.

Im going to be overclocking and 200mhz sync is my aim.

I only need experiences with 1 Gb and 512mb RAM in DC and SC modes. No criticising my board or CPU, as if any of you would even bother

Ive selected TwinMOS Winbond PC3200 because Ive heard good success stories on the net about it and damn its cheap. £60 for 2x256mb and £120 for 2x512mb. Id also be using an ABIT NF7-S Revision 2.0 and an XP1700+ DLT3C JIUHB.

Whats the chances of being able to hit 200mhz sync with 512mb and 1 Gb in DC or SC?

I'll say that you should be able to do it as long as u keep your temps down

I'm running a 1700+ 0310 at 200x11.5 @1.675 with 2 X 512 Kingston Hyper-X 3000 at 400 on a 8RDA+ and everything is working fine for me.

But YMMV.

I've been running my XP2500 @ 221x10 @ 1.750 volts with 1 GB of PC2700 RAM... however, I recently switched to 200x11 because benchmarks scores are better... I'm guessing because the FSB is closer to running in sync with the RAM since I have to lock the RAM at 166 Mhz.

Care to translate? I can decipher quite a few abbrev. but not that one IYGWIM

Thanks for the replies.... Seems as though this guy is going for 1Gb unless something else catches my eye.

YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary.

Sorry, I'm a lazy typer.

I'm running a 2100+ at 200x12 (1.8v), Corsair twinx1024-3200LLPT, on an A1 8RDA+

I can run 200Mhz Sync (w/ one 512MB stick, SC) @ 2-5-2-2 2.5v

In order to do the same frequency and timings (w/ two 512MB sticks, DC), I need to bump up the voltage to 2.7v.

BTW, you are making my post count skyrocket.

So where can you buy twinmos winbond RAM (in the US)? Newegg doesn't seem to have it, or am I missing something? And is it the best bang for your buck? I was thinking about getting Geil. I want to be able run it at least 200-225MHz at the most aggressive timings possible without spending a small fortune.

PC3500 HyperX 2x512 215x10.5 Epox 8RDA+ The only thing I can't do is run the ram in dual channel. Max I can do is 190x11.5 with dual.

With my previous (now sold) 8RDA+, I was able to run 200FSB with 2x Corsair 512mb PC3200 running sync and in dual channel mode. No problem at all even though I used two different model of corsair.

I'm running 2x256MB Corsair twinx512-2700LLPT on asus a7n8x deluxe (a2/1.04 revision) running at 200x11 at home. This is also in dual channel, no mods to the board, timings relaxed from cas2-2-2-5 to cas2.5-3-3-7. I would guess 166x12.5 is better since it is running cas 2, but I like to brag about 200 FSB

I am running GeIL pc3200 ULD ultra 2x512 5-3-3-2 with a 2100+ @ 10.5x200 1.72volts 1:1 mem:cpu ratio.
