Corsair vs Crucial memory speed

[JohnGalt47]

I've started testing Corsair PC2400 and PC150 to see if it is any better than Crucial's PC2100 and PC133 CL2 memory. So far it doesn't seem that the Corsair performs any better.

Has anyone else made similar tests?

I'd like some feedback.

doesn't Corsair use same Micron chips?
then why would Corsair be faster than Crucial?

Corsiad uses the same chips as crucial. Corsaid simply pretests them and guarantee's a hihger speed.

How much of an improvement are you looking for? Of couse there isn't going to be much of a difference between a stick of pc 2100 and pc 2400.

At the same bus speed they are going to be the same or near the same. The 2400 is just guaranteed to do 150. Just like PC133 vs. PC150. Has nothing to do with performance if both are running at the same bus speed/CL provided they are utilizing the same chips, etc. One is just guaranteed to OC higher.

I oc'd both of them at the same speed. That was why I wondered what the deal was with the Corsair. On the Iwill KK266R+, both brands were able to run at the "FASTEST" setting for DRAM and with CAS=2.

Do you guys think Corsair PC2400 will do 2700 CL2 (166 Mhz)?

The deal with the Corsair is that it's guaranteed to run at 150Mhz FSB the Crucial is not. If you buy the Crucial you're taking a gamble that it will run at 150Mhz FSB. I bought some CAS 2 Crucial that wasn't stable at 140. I took the gamble and lost. So I got rid of it and got some PC166 RAM.
