Corsair PC 3200 or PC 3500?

wrote:
Is there any benefit of using PC 3500 other than overclocking? I am
using two sticks of Corsair TwinX 512 meg now but have two sticks of
Corsair XMS PC 3500 512 meg too. The PC 3500 has black heat spreaders
and I don't know if that means the ram is different than the platinum
model.

Also, the A7N8X deluxe recognzes the PC 3200 timings but not PC 3500.
Is this normal?

Which of these memoroes should I stick with? Thanks.

With the PC3500 (Assuming that the 3500 and the PC3200 are both LL versions)
you should be able to get slightly more aggressive timings.

Yep.

the 3200ll is a bascially a 3500 ram but renamed to 3200ll as it can
run at aggressive timimgs at 200fsb, and the 3500 will do a better
job in reaching a high fsb.

Indeed, which is why I said both should be LL versions. However, there
appears not to be a 3500LL.

Dont know where you get your info but the 3700 sims are auctually high latency
modules cas 3.0....

Usually you get 2700C2, 2700LL, 3200C2, 3200LL etc. All of the TwinX,
except the 3700 is also LL. Looks like they're stretched to get 233MHz
working at all, let alone with aggressive timings.


The 3500 is not LL either......................

Yep.

They've gone back to black now I think. I've had three lots of Corsair
XMS, the first were black, the second silver and the third black again.
