Just noticed this from the front page: Crucial PC3200 Took 'em long enough!
Hmm, CL3 too.

I suppose The marketing of faster memory by a company that's known primarily for it's memory products could be considered diversification if defined as To give variety to; vary: and not To extend (business activities) into disparate fields., But regardless, it's definitely an attempt to claim some of the market share they have failed to tap in to, and with Intel's official support having been announced Crucial would have to be completely mad not to capitalize on the opportunity. BTW, I'm not contradicting you Chiz, I know it's your forte' 😉 I agree with your analysis I just think the term diversification should have been omitted for clarity's sake 😛 and that what you stated along with my deduction are both contributing factors for why they've already launched the new flagship despite the fact it's specs look sub-par against the primary competition.

Technically speaking, they can't really "overclock" the memory sticks themselves. It's the memory bus that is overclocked. The essence of what you are saying might be true, though. They could just be cherry-picking through their 2700 sticks and finding the ones that work at higher speeds. Not a bad idea, really. I mean, isn't that what we would all do if we could, given a whole mess of pc2700 sticks?

This is a repost, they have been selling PC3200 for quite some time now. BTW do a search for the recent DDR400 study, it shows that most DDR400 chips are made to run at Cas 3 and that Corsair/Geal etc are just selling them overclocked to run at Cas 2.

Your reply is a repost of what others have been saying.
Define "quite some time" please. It looks like they have only been selling PC3200 for a few weeks now.
SHow me some data plz
. Here's the study: linky.
"Conclusion for the cheap and the risk-loving
Buying Crucial or Samsung PC3200 seems like a much better deal than buying Corsair PC3200. Sure you're not guaranteed CAS 2 operation at PC3200. In the end, you're likely to get a nice overclocker that will do as well as the Corsair PC3200 or perhaps even better. People who are lucky with Samsung or Crucial PC3200 are getting chips that are equivalent to the ones in Corsair's higher end RAM (PC3500, PC3200LL)."

Well from what your saying, it seems to me that you have not read his post then.

It doesn't matter what any of us say because you fail to see the big picture. Your post right below this thread is a prime example.
