Corsair XMS 2GB PC3200 DDR RAM Kit with Heat Spreader
High Performance Gaming Memory
(CMX1024-3200C2PT)

Features:
The CMX1024-3200C2PT is a 1024 MByte DDR SDRAM 184-pin DIMM Kit designed for extreme speed and is one of the fastest 1 GByte modules available. This part delivers outstanding performance at high clock speeds. It has been tested extensively in a variety of motherboards commonly used in gaming rigs. This memory has been verified to operate at 200 MHz (DDR400) at aggressive latencies of 2-3-3-6. This module is also available in matched pairs of TwinX modules tested as a set in a dual channel DDR motherboard.

1024 Megabytes of memory each DIMM 2GB (2 x 1GB) *
Dual channel testing environment*
Benchmarked using both Athlon and Pentium test platforms *
Integrated aluminum heat spreader for improved thermal performance *

TEST SPECIFICATIONS *
Tested at aggressive latency settings of 2-3-3-6 for all systems on all platforms *

Test voltage: 2.75V *

184-Pin DDR SDRAM *

Unbuffered *

Non ECC *

Platinum *

TWINX1024-3200C2PT
* 128Mx64non-ECC 184DIMM unbuffered
* CL2, 64Mx8 DRAMS

So is it worth $80.00 USD??

I say yes speed could be better and the latency as well , but for $80 bucks , looks good.

Shoulda put that in OP,
Upgrade ur computer rather than trying to revive it.

Well thats pc6400 ram. My system will only take up to pc3200. Im at pc2700 at the moment.

I just won this exact model on ebay--->>>
New on NEWEGG--->>>

Yeah should have posted it first, but I started this thread only a few minutes before the auction ended:rolleyes: but I did save $69.00 USD, I love this pc, its never failed me... _{except that one time I tried upgrading the psu}

Thank for the replies. Any more info, please let me know

EDIT: I WON THE AUCTION BY 9 seconds and $0.57 cents!!!one1!

The maximum DDR goes up to (as a whole) is DDR400 = PC3200, so this is as fast as the original poster is going to get. To the OP: that RAM should be fine, however it may underclock itself to PC2700 (333MHz) instead of PC3200 (400MHz)

actually ddr chips were sold at ddr600 and more commonly ddr500 and a few others.

That seems like a decent price for 2x1 gig of ddr these days. I should have sold off my ddr500 when it was worth more than i paid for it lol.

Your motherboard may not support it. If you can get me a model number then I can check out that monitor's QVL (qualified vendor's list for memory) - alternatively, I can show you how to. If it doesn't support it, it should automatically underclock it to the maximum speed that it can handle.

"actually ddr chips were sold at ddr600 and more commonly ddr500 and a few others." - normally pre-overclocked to that speed. "DDR" ran (usually) at a maximum of 400MHz.

The DDR 500/600 speeds aren't standardized. The RAM is just certified to go that high, basically.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

I know that but the the statement that ddr400 is the fastest drr is not rue. if that's the case everyone around here better stop suggesting ddr21066 and such because it is not standardized and just "factory oc'd)

Sigh. Read up. There's a certain difference between DDR and DDR2. It's different even to the pin number, as DDR has 184 pins, DDR2 has 240.

The standards for DDR are DDR200 (PC1600), 266 (PC2100), 333 (PC2700) and 400 (PC3200). Anything over, under or between those is off-standard.

DDR2, on the other hand, starts at 400MHz PC3200 RAM and goes to 533MHz (PC4200), 667MHz (PC5300), 800MHz (PC6400) and 1066MHz (PC8500) RAM.

They're so impopular that they're not worth mentioning, and they're not standardized either.

They are just the best DDR2 memory's. I wanted to buy 1200Mhzs but they went out of stock.

well you are correct on the 1066 is see, last i knew 800 was the last jedec standard for ddr2. the problem is most 1066 ram is still not standardized as it requires more than the ddr2 standard voltage of 1.8v.

and i never said anything about ddr and ddr2 being anything alike or having the same pin layout.

You're pulling DDR and DDR2 in the same boat. At least it sounds so by your post.

In what way? just curious. I was only pointing out the use of the standards which both ddr and ddr2 have. I never said anything about ddr and ddr2 being in the same boat. and regardless if jedec standardizes ddr 500 ddr2 1200 doesn't make it any less real. I haven't had jeced spec ram in probably 3 years
