Q: "[...] the chips on your modules were definitely Micron chips, then?"
A: "Yes they are Micron "
Q: "Also, I noticed you had double-sided memory (16x16MB instead of 8x32MB), and in your review you were able to hold tighter timings and higher speeds then the other reviews I have seen where they used single sided 8x32MB modules."
A: "Yes mine where double sided and usually single sided does give better results but I can't really explain it "
Hmm.. Okay, so these definitely were Micron chips on the memory. I can't really figure out why he got such good OC results whereas those using single sided modules could not go quite as high as he? Could it possibly be because he was running them @ 2.8v while the other reviews left theirs at default?
i dont think it's a voltage issue. every single review i have seen pushes the any RAM to atleast 2.8V when trying to acheive max OC
