Samsung 512mb DDR PC2700 $138 plus shipping.

Are all the suggestions of "burning in" the memory valid? I've read that in order to achieve maximum oc potential you should start at default voltage and the slowly up the fsb and voltage performing hours of Sandra memory benchmarks in between. Does this mean that you have to do this EVERY TIME you boot the machine or is it a one time thing to break the memory in. The logic behind this doesn't seem to make too much sense to me.

Thanks for the info!

I just received a stick of 512MB Samsung "Original" from NewEgg and it does NOT have Samsung written, burned, or otherwise put on the PCB. Did I get Samsung "Original"? Or did NewEgg just rape me for $149 + shipping for generic crap with 3rd party PCB?!?!

From what I've been reading people who previously purchased mem from Newegg had the Samsung pcb written/burned/otherwise . . . well however it was put there the Samsung on the PCB was visible. Earlier in this post someone stated that Newegg was starting to ship the DLT models of Samsung PC2700 and not the CLT. It's conceivable that they ran out of stock and tried to pull a fast one on you. I'd call immediately and demand an explanation stating that you aware that all Samsung "original" mem has Samsung on the PCB. Good Luck!

Yes, there is a Samsung part number on a label that is attached to the memory. But obviously that's not proof of anything, someone could have ripped the sticker off a real Samsung module and stuck it to mine. I'm calling NewEgg and demanding they exchange this module or refund my cash.

Tyoung88: As far as I can tell, the Sandra Burn-in is just a way of testing for complete stability of the OC. If you get your memory to 233mhz and it b0rks the data every other clock cycle, then it is worthless.

Shutting the Comp down, and plopping in the chip.

Has anyone tried out Apacer PC2700 RAM? Samsung seems to be popular for high performance/OC'ing and I was wondering how Apacer compared. The Apacer PC100/PC133 SDRAM was regarded as quality RAM in the past.

Hello All just wanted to give an update.

Received the RAM on Friday and it is genuine Samsung PCB and Chips. It is the DLT model not the CLT model. Setup my rig yesterday and am stable at the following settings

2.5/3/3/6 (will not do more)
2.5 default voltage
DDR 376 (188mhz)

It will not do DDR 400 even if I up the voltage to 2.8. And I attempted the "burn in" as suggested by the post on vr. Upped the voltage for DDR376 to 2.8 and ran 999 iterations of Sandra memory. Tried a higher clock and higher fsb this morning and no difference. I'm happy with DDR 376

Price Lowered.

Over on the overclocking forum people have been able to reach the results that others have obtained from teh ctl version by buring in the dtl version
