First off, I have a AMD64 3200 that clocks to 2.7 stable with OCZ rev 2 platinum, *special thanks to Anandtech for the article about this Ram 5 months ago should it to be very good.
Anyway, as a musician, I have read conflicting reports, some that say you can put 4x512 modules in a Gigabyte K8NS Ultra 939 and be fine if you have an X2, I am not sure as Anandtech points out in their recent article about the X2 3800 that they had failure with any 4x512.
Now I know that this OCZ Rev 2 TCCD is great and TCCD is harder to find, but here are some other things that I have read. I have read that 1GB modules have more noise than the 512 so I probably won't reach as high a clock as 2.7 stable with 2x1GB modules however, as a musician and loading many music VST instruments that use a lot of memory, I need more memory while also keeping a nice overclock. According to Sisoft Sandra, my memory tests are still faster than the newest x2's out, my marks are somewhere in the 7000 mark, not at this computer so I can not look.
Anyway, was wondering what modules are out there that I could use in my Gigabyte board as 2x1GB and still get a decent clock, the next step would be to updgrade to X2, then probably another motherboard down the road as PCIexpress is still a bit problamtic for audio work as the AGP bus still seems to be the norm for audio/video use until PCIexpress Firewire and audio cards become more the norm. So on one hand, I may hold onto the OCZ, on the other, I might sell it.
Nevertheless, would appreciate some links to GREAT DDR in dual channel matching that I could get at least up to 2.6, or higher....with my timings....
Thanks.
