yeah i was gonna put that.. but most people need 2x512mb (dual channel) and OCZ's states that its LL. also, its probably gonna be 1 rebate per household unless you got 2 houses

are you saying that the OCZ is dual channel ddr? I thought 2x512 just meant it was 2 sticks, but that the bandwidth was still 3.2 GB/s.

There is also 1 GB (1x1 GB) PQI PC3200 on sale at frys for $89.99 - 30 MIR. I just looked at the PQI RAM and the package says it's 3-4-4-8. Not sure what it is actually capable of though....

well yeah, its 2 sticks, but they're matched. it's just better knowing that if you got 2 sticks of the same batch, it'll probably work out better than, lets say getting 2 pny's, and having them w/ different chips

ocz's advertising low latency. ??????????????

The timings I listed are the the PQI memory on sale, not the 2x512 OCZ. I don't know what the OCZ timings are, but in the ad it just says 'low latency'.

Sure, the 2x512 are a matched pair but that's still different than dual channel memory. given equal timings I would prefer the 1x1GB to the 2x512.

i never said that the timings you listed were for OCZ. where did you get that from?

if you had a motherboard that supports dual channel, you should take advantage of that.
yeah, if i had a socket 754 or like an 848p chipset, i'd definitely go 1x1gb. but if you had an nforce2, a socket 939, or any motherboard that supports dual channel, you should at least get dual channel kits to ensure the highest compatibility.

or, if you could afford it, just get 2 x 1gb pqi's. that would work, too!

I thought that comment was about the timings I had posted, sorry. I thought the memory as well as the motherboard had to support dual channel, I didn't know you could use a kit....

Regardless, if anyone knows what this memory is capable of please let us know...
