OCZ Gold 1GB PC2-5400

[Rob Williams]

If you are in the market for a 1GB DDR2 kit, then this kit proves to be a great choice. Despite being value memory, it overclocks quite well with the ability to keep stock timings.

Discuss the full review here!

Perhaps a late reply, but by going over your review I noticed the following:

Obviously 1GB is going the way of the dodo, so the only reason why a gamer should really pick up a kit is if they have 2*512MB that they don't want to get rid of. Of course that will force 2T and slow things down more than needed.

I know this is the case with S939 and DDR, but is it also with DDR2..and in particular with AM2? I was just wondering.

Nice review otherwise, I'm thinking of buying these.

 

[Rob Williams]

Yes, DDR2 is the same in both regards. If you add 4 sticks of DDR2, you will be using 2T timings. If you are using 2 sticks of DDR2 at DDR2-800 or higher, you will also be forced to use 2T timings.

Clarification

I'm a little confused about the relationship between the FSB and the ram mhz in this review.
I have just bought some of this ram, and would LOVE to run it at 800hmz at those timings, can you confirm that this was the case and not a typo, as all the other sites on the next seem to only be able to reach around 733mhz with those stock timings.
