Edit, 3.9 gigs is even better!
Nice, 3.8 on stock intel cooler. Hmmm, maybe I will look to Intel for the future, but then again, SLI looks really intertaining with Nvidia!

Great review PJ, you da pimp!

Nice job PJ!
Unfortunately, I don't have any equipment that could run it either.

They look really sweet and even though the review is extremely well written, I'm having a hard time trying to find out why anyone would need this much RAM. Is it for CAD programs or something? I'm gonna do some more surfing tomorrow to see.

Very nicely done PJ, awesome OC there Bro...
I like the idea of DDR2 having less errors on the stick itself, by terminating the signal at the controller.
Slower latencys is a small trade-off for being able to ramp up the speed.
That happens on reg DDR too,only with voltage/heat increases to beat hell.
Hopefully the technology will further itself...

Looks like a made a type-o...I hit 3900 stable, not 3800, again, it was with the stock cooler

It was a great time watching the frequencies scale higher, but I think I may have overvolted my new 530 in the quest for 4.0

I'm keeping this stuff You'll have to pry it from the clutches of my cold, dead fingers. That is, if you can catch me...it's all good tooling along I-75 on your Schwinn in 80 degree weather, but try that here where it's 40F...your parka's gonna slow you down...

This review was quite helpful, the infor on DDR2 has been quite scarce (at leats in my googling) and the new system I'm building needs DDR2 as well as PCI-E.

Thank You PJ.

Rob

Who said anything about NEEDING that much RAM?

It's just the next step in the evolution of DDR, that's all...give it a year or two and everyone will be looking at DDR2...though I must admit, I'm extremely surprised at the ability of regular ol' DDR when it's overclocked...
