DDR3 RAM for sale in Japan as of today

[theteamaqua]

wow i can get 2GB OCZ 8500 SLI for $139.99 after rebate ... and tahts CL5-5-5-15

[Shintai]

I seem to recall hearing that the original spec for DDR3 recommended by jedec had the same signaling as DDR2 until Intel requested otherwise...

AMD is kind of suing intel over it...

as is though, it's also possible for memory controllers with DDR3 support to host DDR2 modules(not simultaneously though)

and come on 1.5V to 1.8V it's not like it's going to fry the RAM if a switch happened... it's like Running DDR2 @2.15V or DDR1 @ 3.1V it's not good for it but it's not like it's instant death. A lot fo peopel here run in excess of those value 24/7 without issue.(also heat is less of an issue with DDR3 so ehh)

No, that was nothing more but a rumour like so many other false ones.

And yes, 1.5 vs 1.8V is a huge issue. Just because we OC doesnt mean the 99% of the rest does. And it doesnt mean the rest of the memory (Specially early memory) can. Yes some run without issue, but some run with issue. Overvolting is a very bad thing, specially the lower process you go.

So dont tell me a industry standard should rely on it to be able to overvolt.

ES boards are already there

Out of where? Space?

man that board has more heatpipes than a striker!

typically the people who exchange RAM or build systems are also the people who know how to change the voltage in BIOS.

Owee Memory modules FOR EXPERTS... $pulls $700 from his wallet*

Yes, I can just see Dell factory workers busy setting voltage each time.

Aswell as all memory makers pulling warranty on all value memory!

Seriously...OC is like flipping a coin. And a 20%+ overvoltage is so bad no OEM would want to deal with it on the factory floor. Unless its for some XPS extreme system.

So there was one, right? I don't think I'm hallucinating .

One can only hope you don't see that on LSD because they would need to call 911 for the paramedics to sew you side back up from laughing to hard.

Egg

neither. chickens evolved from reptiles which already had the ability to lay eggs.

[XSAlliN]

If we have the chicken and the egg, cook me an omelet with fried chicken - for short, show me the benches with the comparison between old boards with DDR2 and this DDR2/DDR3 mutant board with DDR3 ram on, I'm really curios: THOSE IT WORTH IT? - back them use to think it would.

[bloodbanger]

for that price you have the fastest DDR2 memory out there...I hope it will drop pretty soon...would be weird,the most expensive thing in your case is memory,instead of CPU or GPU...

well memory does have more silicon per square conductive inch without the packaging.

[adamsleath]

from verndewd's link...look at that chunky nb sink.

[over@locker886]

too expensive now.. one good 2GB DDR2 set only 150-200$.

[XSAlliN]

too expensive now.. one good 2GB DDR2 set only 150-200$.

Then 1GB of that DDR3 should be better then 4GB of good old DDR2 to worth it.

[adamsleath]

...well obviously...no way will most people be getting ddr3...i'll be keeping my ddr2 for as long as possible.

[FghtinIrshNvrDi]

okay, smartass. Who came first, the dinosaur or the egg?

(just so you know, I'm trying to be funny.)

[saaya]

whoever has a ddr3 board atm already has or will have ddr3 memory very soon without having to pay for it... so whats the point? :P

just marketing...

[dinos22]

damn it i can source the RAM but not mobo

[[XC] Lead Head]

from verndewd's link...look at that chunky nb sink.

I think you'd be better off using the north bridge sink to cool your processor!

[FghtinIrshNvrDi]

dang, this stuff is getting out of hand. North Bridges don't have to be THAT cool. I mean, what's the thermal envelope of say... 680i?

LSD is for amateurs. I snort only the purest lines of South American fire ants.

[mursaat]

So you can buy DDR3 but not DDR3 board, and buy DX10 cards but no DX10 games. Next will be "X" uberprocessor without i386 architecture so no Windows at all? Some would be pleased

[theteamaqua]

andre has DDR3, but hes under NDA so he cant really run it on his Asus P35 board

Then we devise an nda breaking method that reroutes the broken nda from china and points to a pig name zhiang in a mud pit in hubei farmlands. The pig would have to have no owner.

This can be done.
