Out of stock.

This is a good price for 256MB Corsair PC3700 "Extreme Memory Series, Low Latency" RAM. However, I question whether 3-4-4-8 memory qualifies for the title "extreme" or "low latency". Still a good price, though.

OMG! And I had just ordered 256MB Corsair PC3200 from them last night that cost $60!

extremeley hot... just bought 512 PC3200 Kingston HyperX a month ago for $120

As the bandwidth of the memory increases, you will see that the latency gets higher and higher. What we once considered high latency will become nomal and what we though of as normal will be considered low latency.

Here are some benchmarks also.

you mean Hz, not bandwidth.

yeah. What you talkin' 'bout Willis. Frequency or bandwidth? testify!

Winbond BH-5 modules demonstrate that manufacturers can design PC3700 memory that runs with tight timings (2-2-2-5). OCZ and others have higher frequency memory with tighter timings than this Corsair. I think we will see PC4000 and faster memory with tight timings before long. The timings do make a difference for speed. See this AnandTech review ("we also saw slower DDR423 with 2-2-2-6 timings meet or best DDR533 performance with the slower timings required for DDR550").

This is still a very good price for Corsair PC3700 memory. I just think the name is misleading because the timings are neither extreme nor low.

Link no longer works (worked for me about 30-45 mins ago), but now it brings to a blank page. Also I couldn't find this module using the search feature on their site anymore. Perhaps discontinued.

missed out, nice price though

Could you update the title to reflect that it's 256meg? 🙂 definetely a good deal...

 

[davew0670]
