I have tried out Corsair XMS Pro & Crucial Ballistix. The Ballistix is advertised as timings of 2-2-2-2, but it is almost impossible to reach those, unless you overclock a processor by a great deal. That's why I picked the HyperX. VERY cheap compared to the other modules it competes with and kicks everything's a** at overclocking. (except for maybe Corsair & Geil, where it ties) Now, I'm not saying OCZ is bad, but I've never tried them, so I cannot give proper advice regarding their modules.

I'll post a few pic's with Benchmarks. The DFI Bios seems very sensitive, so you really need a lot of time & research to figure out the best OC. I do need a Bios update though, DFI says that the Bios update resolves many issues compared to the original revision. :yes: Last edited by Super XP on Wed Mar 09, 2005 5:44 pm; edited 1 time in total Contributed by Super XP, iVirtua Ultimate Contributor 100 iVirtua Loyalty Points • View Profile • Send Private Message • Back to Top Related Articles Compare ATI to Nvidia quality test Page 1 of 3 Goto page 1, 2, 3  Next
