Crucial Ballistix - Quick and Dirty Test

[M@tt]

Epox EP 8RDA3+ Locked Barton XP2500. I never went above 210 FSB, so the locked Barton was not an issue, I dropped Vmem to get an idea of the potential of the Ram.

2 x PC 3200 512 Mb's In Dual Mode

Quick Test with the Hexus PIFast.

11 x 200 FSB

2.77 Vmem

6-2-2-2  Pass
5-2-2-2  Pass
11-2-2-2 Pass

2.60 Vmem

6-2-2-2 Pass
5-2-2-2 Fail

11 x 210 FSB

2.9 Vmem

6-2-2-2  Pass Time = 61.03
5-2-2-2  Pass Time = 60.75
11-2-2-2 Pass Time = 60.63

2.77 Vmem

6-2-2-2  Fail
5-2-2-2  Fail
11-2-2-2 Fail

Draw your own conclusions

hmmm..
I have only 1 stick of corsair XMSLL 3200
its passes the 11*210 FSB 2.77 VMEM test at all latenceys you tried and i have the same mobo and cpu!! (cept mine does 219 fsb!)

I would never knock Corsair, great memory and If you want the best, Corsair is properly the Memory to buy, put it's not cheap

Running in Dual Channel does put extra stress on the memory I believe also. I have fitted the "Ballistix" into my Dual now and I'm to Lazy to go and try just one stick

[Applecrusher]

Yeah, currently saving for the second stick :'(
ohh as you have an 8RDA3+ you might want to try this program (it works for mine ) at http://www.hasw.net/

so is this a thumbs up or down?

Thumbs Up from Me

from another forum

Abit NF7s
Running fine at 2.7v 200 FSB dual channel 2226.

Have run them up to 217 FSB 2-2-2-11 but they needed 2.9 v for 100% stability.

My thoughts
How many AMD boards are truly stable 24/7 with much above this rams limits

EDIT Thanks Applecrusher for the linky

M@tt, you're a star again.

I'll be getting a gig of this myself.
