Still have Pc-3200? [Archive]

Depends upon what kind of PC they run. Most Intels now run DDR2 and all AMDs run DDR, either PC3200 or faster.

Older Intels run DDR as well, in fact I have 2 gigs of PC3200 in mine.

I have PC4400 in mine. My girlfriend who has an older machine has PC-3200.

I got PC3200 which is overclocked to PC4000 speed :)

i ahev PC-3200 and i think the move to DDR2 will take me a long time

Built my machine one and a half years ago. Has regular DDR memory which I'm overtiming of course to get the best performance out of it. I'm pretty sure that my next machine will be a DDR2 baby.

Who manufacturers your PC-3200. If its generic brand memory, then getting 250 mhz out of it would be killer. But top of the line memory can overclock even higher.

Check the timings..............it's OCZ with BH5 IC's, they don't go much higher at those timings.............;), Now if I were to looen the timings on TCCD ram (just about any brand) I can get to DDR600 out of a good set...............:) but they won't push those tight of timings at DDR500.

I still use PC100 on one rig!! Talk about ancient :)

The PC100 rig is uses for miscellaneous things, such as running a firewall. My main rig uses PC3200.

How fast does your PC100 run?

If it is using PC100 memory, then it can't be a very fast comp.

Pc-3200 is really suited for AMD processors right now. Intel is beyond that with their DDR2 and PC4200 ram sticks. If you were to ask Intel users it'd be a different result than AMD users. Pc-3200 is the standard now for AMD.

Intel differs from AMD, because Intel sells pure GHZ. There processors are sold based on their number of GHZ. Intel focuses on the highest possible GHZ and they need fast RAM that can keep up with the speed of the processor. AMD focuses more on the efficiently of their processors. They try to release processors that get the most efficiency out of every drop of GHZ. Thats why an AMD processor running at 2.4 GHZ can do as well or better then an Intel processor at 3 GHZ. It is because AMD doesn't rely as heavily on high GHZ that they work fine with PC-3200 memory. Don't require as much memory bandwidth to get the performance out of their chips.

Yes, I still got PC3200! I have 512 MB of PC3200 memory. It is GEIL brand memory. Looking to upgrade soon to 1 gig of memory.

AMD users have not choice to use DDR1 untill the AM2 is out.

Damn sbrehm do ou run your system always at 1.7V? Isn't that risky even with WC'ing?

DDR1 and PC3200 mean the same thing.

Did you mean to say DDR2?

I didn't mention anything about this and I know that so what are you talking about?

I currently use Patriot XBL 2x512MB sticks.

Only bench it there and play some games at those speeds................:D
Most of the time it's running at a mild 9x250 1.45 bios........:cool:

Same here. I run mine at 2.2GHz (245x9) @1.4V when gaming; sometimes I run it at 2.4GHz (266x9) @1.4V but ususally 2.2GHz

CPU's cost to much to let them run there all the time, I have to make a CPU last a long time and save up for each part I buy.

What type of cooling do you have for running it at 2.7 GHZ?

I disagree with those who say that a CPU will die faster if you run it at a higher speed. That is plain BS. You could run your CPU at 2.7 gig and have it last as long as another running at 2.2 gig. Excessive heat can cause a CPU to decay faster. The key word is "excessive". If it is not running at excessive heat then the CPU speed is not a factor in how long the chip lasts.

There's a lot of internal factors to take into account also, the excessive voltage also degrades the circuits over time also. They were only designed to withstand so much...........;) Kinda like running 30 amps through your houehold line that was setup to take only 20, sooner or latter something has to give.............;)

You got water cooling and do not overclock to the max? Thought all you watercoolers always overclocked to the extreme.

Only for testing and benching or hard core gaming like a lan..............:D
I really don't see any reason in the world to run a max OC all week while I'm doing office work...................:eek:
And to reset to my different OC, it's a simple matter of booting into the bios, going to the saved settings and reload, I always reboot before gaming anyway.

I hate to reboot. I often have dozens of windows open at once. (multitasking) and when I reboot I lose everything.

No way to save your window contents and positions before rebooting and restore them after the reboot finishes?

Try emailing the idea as a suggestion to Microsoft. Maybe they will implement it in a future version of Windows.

No sense in leaving windows open when not in use; it just eats up resources. I know someone who does the same thing. It just slows a system down. Why would you want all your windows to open back up when you reboot? It just make boot up slower.

Got to be joking. Microsoft does not listen to the "little people". Try to email them, and they will never even open the email, let alone read it.

In this extremely paranoid world we live in, it is not even funny to joke about stuff like that, specially if you live in the USA. All someone has to do is make a copy of your post, email it to Homeland Security, and your be rooming with some guy named Bubba soon enough.

Not funny :eek:
