512 MB PC3200 2-3-2-6 Corsair Ram for sale: :120bux:

[Expunge]

Here it is on Newegg for 168.
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-428&depa=1

I've gotta dump it because having this second stick is pointless considering the Socket 754 mobo I'm buying doesn't support dual channel (I have two of these)

If anyone wants to buy them both I'll sell them for 235

[SuperDude]

:levitate:

[ghrogels]

:'(
noooooooooooo :(

[Expunge]

Buy it NOW.

Or something..

*tempted* *looks at money left* Oh shizzzzzz

I read the first line and I was like "OMG YEY" then I read the second line and got upset. After that I read the third line and began to cry with you :<

I would love more than anything another gig of ram...I might be able to get a short term loan from ****** hmmmmmmmm the wheels are a turnin...

I'll let you know in a couple of days...(monday hopefully)

LOAN DENIED!

Don't sell the ram. I might be intrested for both of the sticks. BTW It was your 512 stick of ram that caused all the problems.

I would love you forever and ever jinx ;)


Me gots money (wed), but I have some questions...

What does 2-3-2-6 mean?

I already have a gig of ddr 3200 ram, what do you think the chances of conflict are with different brands?

If it's better than my current ram (higher performance) will it just run at same speeds as my current stuff?

[M4LFUNCT10N]

The numbers have to do with the latency and speed of the ram.

Do they need to match the ones I already have?

[hockeysnipermlg]

for dual channel, i believe so

i think it also gives better performance with matching sticks, even without dual channel

That sucks...(if true) I don't want to render my other ram useless at all...plus if they are reduced to working the same speed as my current stuff I'll probably just get the same brand (cheaper)

besides I want a new vid card more anyway...

[hockeysnipermlg]

i dont think it renders it useless, AFAIK. its just not as good as having the same amount of ram with the same timings.

for instance, im saving up for another 512 stick of XMS pc-3200 thats 2-3-3-6 so i can run dual channel

and i would buy this, except i have the same prob as all the other ppl here. flat broke. except for like 7 bucks. but whatever...

[Expunge]

Yeah Jinx, this is how I explained it to Ghrog.

Basically timings are the delay that your memory takes to respond when requested for some stored information.

Basically it goes like this:

CPU: YO RAM, ADDRESS X785 PLEZ.

Ram: Uhhhhhh... (Latency timer) HERE IT IS
Lower Latency ram: Uh HERE IT IS

Now imagine that the ram is running, this running speed is dependant on the bus speed of the computer.

CPU: YO RAM, ADDRESS X785 PLEZ.
Ram: Huff huff *trip*

In this case the ram is running to fast to reliably transfer the information in time, and thus crashes. It's like asking a runner to run as fast as he can, while trying to tell you directions to his house.

Now when you give the ram more time to respond, IE higher latency timer, it's able to operate at a higher speed (Run faster) and still get you the commands.

CPU: YO RAM. ADDRESS X785 PLEZ.
Ram: Huff huff uhhh..... Here you go!

Now the trick is to find ram that scales well, basically... Ram that can run fast, and still respond quickly.

In the case of my ram:

CPU: YO RAM. ADDRESS X785 PLEZ.
Ram: Huff HERE YOU GO.

In the case of dual channel ram:
CPU: YO DUDERS, ADDY X785 ASAP.
Ram1: Here y/
Ram2: /ou go

Adding voltage to this mix is like giving the runniner an energy drink. It will allow him to think faster, and run at a higher speed. Practically: Increase the bus speed, while decreasing the timings.

The trick to ram is finding the happy medium, IE highest bandwidth possible. This is done by finding the idea clockspeed, at the lowest possible latencies. Or, the absolute highest clockspeed, without and regard to timings. That is why ram producers cell low latency, and high bandwidth ram. High bandwidth says to tell with good timings, they're just going to clock really high. Low latency ram is all about low timings to achieve benchmarks. This is where AMD and Intel differ on memory choice. The intel chipsets tend to run generally higher bus speeds, and thus they usually end up with high bandwidth ram. AMD is the opposite.

Now memory bandwidth is a very difficult thing to optimise, as it usually requires resetting the CMOS several times in order to find a stable memory clock that posts the highest amount of bandwidth under stability. This takes a while, especially when other overclocked components are in the mix as well. Low timings = Good. High bandwidth = Good. Mixing the two in a perfect ratio = Priceless. That's why you see such an amount of time that goes into configuring a system with enthusiast users, and that's why you see me posting 3dMark scores all the time. I live for this shit ;)

Oh one thing I forgot. The numbers go in order of importance. IE: 2-3-2-6 The 2 in front being most important, and the 6 in the rear being least.

There should be no conflicts.The ram should run as slow as the slowest stick. If you have generic ram and just want to add more to it, buy more generic and save some money. If you want to try and increase performance, or overclock, just use the good ram by itself.

I know this is kind of low, but it is all I have right now (shit I need a better job or have more money, damn I wish I were rich). I have $200 MAYBE for you. Would you even be interested at all?

It has allready been sold SCM. Thanks for the offer though.
