Will these run 800 4-4-4-12 in my P5B

I know I have another thread about running 1x4 but I've decided to run it 2x2 and would like to find something relatively inexpensive that will run 4-4-4-16 at my current 400FSB.

Will the above do that or can you give me some suggestions?

Thanks,

Mark

1) That would probably work, but the easiest way to be sure is to buy memory advertised as DDR2-800 4-4-4-12.

2) Why do you need 4-4-4-12 timings?

Don't need those timings but DDR2 is pretty cheap and if I can get them for another $20 or so why not? Plus if they don't work I'll have lots of headroom for running 5-5-5-18.

Well my point is that 4-4-4-12 aren't worth an extra $20. It just doesn't make enough of a difference (or any at all really) in actual performance.

Once I see the price difference I can make that decision with more clarity.

For $20 extra it would be worth if for me for the 1 to 3% speed increase claimed by Anandtech.

Here's a list of RAM @ those timings

You'll get better performance at FSB 400 DDR2-1000 5-5-5 than FSB 400 DDR2-800 4-4-4.

Stick with your original thought. They will allow overhead room for overclocking. I recently picked up a pair of GSkill PC 7200 or DDR2 900 that run @ 4.4.4.12 which says to me the IC's are high bin chips.

I have this memory http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820148212 and it runs perfect, stable and cool. And the timmings are 4-4-4-12 at 2 volts and they overclock well and are priced good to boot...

That's exactly what I was looking for, someone actually running the settings I want to run.

Thanks!

I really cannot recommend Crucial though...their reliability has been utterly horrible of late, even on the newer non-D9GMH kits.
