HyperX DDR 500MHz (PC4000) !!

i bet thats CAS3, they dont list the timings at all, regardless 500mhz is very impressive, that would pair up nice with a 1ghz fsb P4 🙂
 
its just a HIGhly selective process that they figure out the FEW that will O/C to thhat level, thats all

Digit-Life has got the goods on some new Kingston DDR500 and DDR466 HyperX memory modules:
Kingston Technology Company, Inc. announced the release and shipment roadmap of its new HyperX DDR500 (PC4000) and HyperX DDR466 (PC3700) modules. According to the maker, HyperX PC4000 and PC3700 solutions are currently tested on Abit IC7/IC7-G and Asus P4C800.

Brief specs:

* 184-pin unbuffered DIMM
* Timings:
o 500MHz ? 3-4-4-8-1 (CAS Latency 3)
o 466MHz ? 3-4-4-8-1 (CAS Latency 3)
* 2.65V voltage
* Aluminium heat-sinks

Here's some more info from EBN:

Kingston Technology Co. Inc. Wednesday introduced what the company claimed is the industry's first PC4000 memory module using DDR500 SDRAM chips. Kingston also unveiled a PC3700 module using DDR466 SDRAM.

The DDR500 is an overclocked DDR400 SDRAM that Kingston has tested and validated at the higher speed, said Mark Tekunoff, senior technology manager. The memory uses Intel Corp.'s 875 Canterwood chipset, which Tekunoff said is able to support the required high data rate.

and dont forget about OCZ

From the press release I got this afternoon:

OCZ Technology is pleased to announce the availability of PC4000 DDR500 EL DDR Gold Edition memory modules, featuring HyperSpeed and Extended Voltage Protection technology.

OCZ PC4000 EL DDR Gold Edition will be shipping in 256MB and 512MB modules, as well as hand matched and tested 512MB (2x256MB) and 1GB (2x512MB) Dual Channel kits with rated timings of CL 2.5-4-4-7 at 2.8 volts.

OCZ has tighter timings, but make sure to look at the voltages too, Kingston gaurantees those timings at 2.65v and OCZ gaurantees their timings at 2.8v 😉 Both are plenty fast for now though 🙂

OCZ's stuff is better. 2.8V is nothing

you really can't blanket say OCZ's is better, after all, kingston doesn't test at the higher voltage

better as in tighter timings, Kingston is making a big mistake not testing @ 2.8V. do they think thats too high for their ram or something?
 
Has OCZ improved their reputation.

I remember hearing they were a little shaddy in their operations.

 
It's a shame that OCZ has had such a bad past reputation for shoddy business. It's also a shame that they test their memory at 2.8volts, and it's also a shame that some people don't realize that more voltage (read, lower initial voltage settings) equals higher stability, and higher possiblilty to OC.

I have doubts that the OCZ can match the timings of the Kingston at the 2.65v settings. I have no doubts that the Kingston can match the OCZ timings at 2.8 volts. They (OCZ) have shown a propensity for misinformation in the past, and either they think we are stupid, or just don't care. If their memory needs 2.8 volts to be stable at it's rated speed, then it is most likely overclocked, or worse yet, remarked, and won't have much headroom compared to the HyperX.

Sorry for sounding like the new kid on the block... but will this ram help performance on a AMD system?

I can imagine the performance increase on a P4 800Mhz FSb, but on a AMD ? I doubt little performance gain over running both AMD and memory in-sync on a athlon set up.
 
Yikes

We have read it over and over, OCZ is using their own Enhanced Latency 4 ns memory chips. Truth is that OCZ does not manufacture memory chips, rather, the original markings are sanded off (you can see the scratchmarks from the beltsander towards the left and right edges) are blasted off using a CO2 laser and the discreets are then laser-remarked to sport the OCZ label with the -40 (4 ns) rating

Don't think I'll be ordering from them anytime soon.

Good link LED. It sure explains a lot about memory.
