dontasciime Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I,ll swap you for 10 gig of ddr 266/333/400 I see they are down in price at misco again but 5 day wait. I fancy the tracer version I have found at 1337 but don't know if they are legit company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontasciime Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I decided to buy the Ballistix Tracer from 1337pc and It arrived this morning. I will not be able to run it at 1066 though as all 975x chipsets cannot seem to run it at 1066 and have to use 1000. Very strange chipset the 975x. So 1337pc are legit they were a lot cheaper than eleswhere (and that made me dubios) but checkout is via protx (secure padlock top in ie7) stupid me was looking for padlock on bottom, forgot I updated to Ie7. The Ballistix memory is also not very good to overclock as found out by plenty of reviews etc. Maybe I will run it @800 and lower Cas and push up with FSB. That Gskill not got warranty whereby you can swap it for something that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I don't know why they'd be bad overclockers, almost all the memory makers use the Micron D9 chips and Crucial is of course owned by them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontasciime Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Only going by what I read about them not going over 1072. Will see if I can find links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontasciime Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 http://www.xtremecomputing.co.uk/review.php?id=359 http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=1107&pageID=3479 fair enough on p35 boards they have gotten them to 1200 and a little above but 965 and 975 seem to be struggling. Has your board been cleared to use 1333 fsb for newer c2d or like mine have they said it will never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 my ballistix pc4000 cas 2.5 only runs stable at 260/520 with command rate 1, turning off command rate 1 allows it to go higher course some motherboards and memory controllers are pickier than others none of my other premium ram would overclock worth a damn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Yeah my board is meant for 1333. I got an ip35 pro to replace my d975xbx2 just for a laugh until the x38 ones come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontasciime Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 They any good as my msi is full of twatty bugs like no warm reboot and typical msi no idea on how to fix it, like 15 bios images later and back to square one, shame as well as nice fast board. I have a spare c2d now so might get one. How long for 38's though. That be ICH10 or ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I have a bit of an issue with it due to my using a pci-e scsi card for booting windows and it wanting to boot from my array on the ich9r all the time - regardless of the boot priority order in the bios! Other than that it's been great so far It's certainly got all the features I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontasciime Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I fancy this http://www.asus.com/news_show.aspx?id=7819 ddr3 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 lol no thanks! Ignoring the onboard ram (Eww!), I'm happy with DDR2 - and even more so the price of it! As it's only a stop gap for a few month, I wanted a cheap(ish) one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontasciime Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 yeah I edited to ddr3 though. I think I will wait a Little not paying 300 quid for 512 meg or whatever it is actually I overlooked that part onboard ram (did not register as who would expect it) er no thanks Hang on Im getting confused here, seems to support ddr2 as well, and onboard ram, some places selling this mobo for nearly 600 quid and one at 137. I see now, the one for 137 is showing picture of deluxe and specs of deluxe but saying they have for sale a premium wifi, which does not have dimm slots but hard wired ddr3. Deluxe takes ddr2 or ddr 3 Unless they got that bit wrong on description as well. [edit] asus make same board one takes ddr2 and the other version takes ddr 3 but not either so to speak] premium is onboard ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
