Turns out that D9HNL is a 1Gbit chip, with a 128x8 arrangement. This has two important implications: These memory sticks are single rank, and future 2x2GB memory kits can be made from D9HNL, in the form of two double rank sticks. As such, the results from this review can now imply three things:
1. We get a prelimary look at the new revE dies from Micron.
2. We can determine how good a value this kit is for overclockers.
3. The performance will be indicative of how Micron will fare in the 2x2GB arena.
At first glance, there is only one word to describe the overclocking results: Surprising.
The first thing that stands out, voltage does not help at all. Why the chips behaved like this is unclear. When the MHz obtained at 1.8v is compared to other kits using D9GMH that I have tested, the speeds achieved are actually relatively impressive for what this kit is marketed as. Even the best of the D9GMH 2x1GB kits can only do ~500-530MHz at 5-5-5 with 1.8v. The difference is that the revD chips gain around 15-30MHz per 0.1v increase. These revE chips... well, they get anywhere from 5MHz to negative 3MHz with each additional 0.1v increase. Being optimistic as always, it's possible that the chips themselves are not at fault ...
