are the 3700amd soc 939 sandiegos rated to run with memory with 1T command rate? reason being is that i am after 2x1gb of corsair 3500LL pro series which come with plug n play technology, ie they boot up with 2-3-2-6 1T command rate, and i was wondering if my processor is up to it ?
No probs with 2 sticks. BTW, is "plug and play" on the RAM a marketing point for Corsair? Because they're running out of ideas if it is... all RAM has to have an SPD now.
yer, cause i was thinking of getting the crucial ballistix 2x1gb , they should be able to do cl2 2-2-2-5 maybe ? with 1T at around 2.9v ? i just dont want to overclock much at all i want speed and stability, which is why i was looking into those pair of corsiar, although the heat spreaders arnt exaclty small ....
My 2x512mb set of Ballistix did 2-2-2-5 with no problems at stock volts. Not sure if you'd need to wack 2.9v into them for it, even if they are 2x1gb.
youll not get 2-2-2-5 from the 1Gb modules. Best I could ever get was 2.5-2-2-5 at DDR400... that was with 2.8V. Upping the vDIMM gave no improvement. The 512s can, and indeed do 2-2-2-5. Still.. 1Gb modules that are 2.5-2-2-5 at 400 and 3-3-3-8 at 600 seem like a good investment to me. The differences between 2.5 and 2 CAS are small.. it's the second figure... the RAS to CAS delay that gives the biggest boost.
I was only stating what mine had done to compare Yeah I know theres not much between 2-2-2-5, and 2.5-2-2-5
The 512MB modules use Micron 5B-G chips, which are rated 2-2-2-6 @ 200Mhz. The 1GB modules use Micron 5B-D chips, rated 2.5-3-3-7 @ 200Mhz (IIRC). Of course, they can both run tighter/higher than rated, but those are the official specs
