i was looking at ram for my pc and when i stumbbled on this i got pretty pissed off. it says that if u use three sticks of pc 2700 your ram will run at 266mhz. why is that... to compansate for power used from the psu? is this only for crucial ram? if it isnt is there any way to get around that and run at 333mhz?

here is a link to the site, its at the bottom right in red followed by the black text
Crucial Ram :mad:
 
all DDR ram runs slower the more of it you put in, thats why its better to buy one big chip.
 
damn

damn! UNLESS!:p i look more into ram o/c haha im starting to get ideas! can i just o/c the ram alone without the system, and then i will have to buy cooling for them but thats ok i was planing on doin that anyways
 
just sell your ram on ebay :p and go buy a bigass stick of ocz's 3200 which runs at 466 - 233x2 (yes there 3200 ram goes that much out of spec) crucial isn't that great in my opinion there over priced and lack performance.

unless you overclock, no not really. unless you get some low-latency ram so you can tweak the ram timings in your bios. you'll get maybe 5% increase in performance, at the most.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
