Ultra Products PC3200 XL 2-2-2 DDR Memory [Review, Bjorn3d]
Before releasing the X-Connect power supply and becoming a household name
virtually over night, Ultra Products was slowly releasing more and more
products and hitting the retail shelves at CompUSA and Fry's. Before the big
Samsung TCCD IC boom, Ultra had already released some memory modules and had
proven that the company can provide a decent stick of RAM. Now, Ultra is the
latest company to jump on the Samsung TCCD memory chip bandwagon, which is
actually a good thing to be on.
The Samsung TCCD ICs have really leveled the playing field like never before it
seems. Now, any company that can get ahold of some of these chips and create
some memory modules is able to compete with the big boys, like Corsair,
Kingston and OCZ, because the Samsung TCCD chips are just that good. Of course,
the companies are still trying to distinguish themselves from each other by
adding blinking lights or using superior PCB for even better overclocking, but
who would have guessed a couple months ago that you could compare Ultra memory
to Corsair, and it actually be a fair fight? Ultra obviously has a long way to
go before it will be listed in the enthusiasts' top five, but its new PC3200 XL
modules are definitely a step in the right direction. Thu, 03 Mar, 2005 | 36 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Kingston HyperX Ultra Low Latency PC3200 Review [Review, mikhailtech]
Removing one of the heat spreaders reveals the bread and butter of low latency memory: Samsung TCCD chips. These bundles of overclocking joy are rated up to 250MHz (albeit at more relaxed timings) and can top out well past that point. An important thing to note is that memory "overclockability" in general (much like processors) is more or less hit-or-miss. Samsung's TCCD chips may be rated for 250MHz and the majority of people who own RAM utilizing these modules can get similar results, but there's no guarantee other than the specified rating. In other words, it's entirely possible (though highly unlikely) that you could end up with a PC3200 HyperX stick that only runs at PC3200.

Are Samsung TCCD IC's Dead? [Article, legitreviews]
From what we found out today from Corsair, Kingston, and Mushkin is that the
memory industry is not worried about the recent concerns dealing with Samsung
ending production on the TCCD IC's. To be honest not once were the words
discontinued or EOL (End of Life) used in our conversations. If you were one
of the people this morning running around telling all your friends to buy TCCD
based memory today you now know that is not the case... Sun, 13 Feb, 2005 | 22 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Value Versus Performance Notebook Memory [Review, LegitReviews]
Now that building your own notebook has become a trend among enthusiasts, the
hardware industry is starting to offer more options for consumers. When it
comes to notebook memory, you used to only have one choice, value memory. Last
year, Corsair memory changed all that when they launched an XMS SO-DIMM part
that was Low Latency (LL)... Sat, 05 Feb, 2005 | 39 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Kingston 1024MB PC2700 SODIMM Review [Review, mikhailtech]
This particular stick is built specifically for Dell Inspiron notebooks (hence the "KTD-INSP5150/1G" label on the sticker). To fit 1GB onto a single board, Kingston used a total of 16 small modules, each 64MB in capacity. The markings on the chips are "SEC 434 NLB3" (first row), "K4H510838B" (second row), and "AUG537XX" (third row). The RAM is rated at 166MHz DDR (333MHz effectively), i.e. DDR333 or PC2700. I'll be comparing it to a pair of 256MB Hynix sticks that came with the laptop originally. Although the capacities are different, both memory sets use a total of 16 modules at 64MB each.

Corsair XMS Xpert Memory [Preview, Hexus]
When it comes to products with a 'cool factor', Corsair's XMS
Xpert memory definitely has a lot going for it. An LED display on your
RAM? Which can accept custom messages of your choosing? That's beyond
cool, and entering the realms of genius. Putting that to one side,
there's also a practical use for this product too, particularly for the
keen overclocker who wants to keep a close eye on all his system
components - What better way to keep tabs on your memory than through
the display seen here? Even in an enclosed case, there's still Corsair's
Memory Dashboard to monitor all the vital statistics of your precious
RAM modules. Sun, 16 Jan, 2005 | 22 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Corsair Rev2 PC3200XL 2-2-2 Memory (TWINX1024-3200XL) [Review, Bjorn3d]
How do you improve such good RAM? Well, you don't change too much. At the heart
of the new revision of the 3200XL modules are the same Samsung TCCD chips that
were used in the original 3200XL sticks (and now in many competing products).
The main difference between the old and new XL's is the PCB (printed circuit
board). Corsair made some design enhancements to the PCB in order to support
higher top-end clock speeds. That adds up to the new 3200XL overclocking to
high speeds with more success than the old one. Tue, 11 Jan, 2005 | 50 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Kingston 1GB PC3200 HyperX Dual Channel Memory Kit [Review, rojakpot]
Thanks to the Samsung TCCD memory chips, many companies have jumped onto the ultra-low latency bandwagon. However, the performance of these ultra-low latency modules vary somewhat. Today, we take a look at Kingston's ultra-low latency PC3200 HyperX dual channel memory kit! Dubbed the KHX3200ULK, will it be able to show the true potential of the Samsung TCCD memory chips?

Mushkin 1GByte (2x512MB) Level-II PC3200 RAM [Review, Hexus]
Mushkin has evidently seen the fantastic flexibility of Samsung's
latest performance ICs, ranging from ultra-low latencies through to high
MHz speeds with relaxed timings, and used them in its latest iteration
of high-performance RAM. It's needed to, really, as Corsair and OCZ
already have 2-2-2-5 PC3200 modules available right now.
Performance-wise, there's not much to say other than it's predictably
excellent memory. Wed, 05 Jan, 2005 | 13 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Corsair TwinX1024 4400C25PT 1Gbyte Matched Memory [Review, Hexus]
Whichever way you cut it, DDR550 memory is extremely useful when
the only means of radically raising CPU speed, and by inference
performance, is to crank FSB to 275MHz+. It would make a perfect partner
to a setup consisting of, say, AMD's Athlon 64 3000/3200 and/or Intel's
Pentium 4 2.8GHz/3.0GHz processors. These processors often overclock to
250MHz+ FSB with relatively innocuous cooling, and having synchronous
RAM allows you to extract maximum bandwidth and performance from said
setup. Mon, 20 Dec, 2004 | 18 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail

Crucial Ballistix PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 Memory [Review, Bjorn3d]
That is no longer the case today. Earlier this year, Crucial introduced an
enthusiast line called 'Ballistix,' which is obviously intended to grab gamers'
attention. The Ballistix DDR has grabbed plenty of positive attention and
feedback from users and reviewers alike. Crucial sent us some DDR2 from the
Ballistix family, so we'll get to see firsthand if Crucial truly can deliver
what enthusiasts want. Sat, 04 Dec, 2004 | 24 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
Corsair 1GByte DDR2 Twin2X Matched Memory Pair [Review, Hexus]
DDR2 memory is here to stay. Intel has decided that future
scalability is more important than immediate performance. Corsair's
1GBye DDR2 Twin2X pack debuts in at a blistering DDR533 speed. Just in
case it sounds slow, that's high-end, premium DDR territory. What's
more, Corsair is already marketing DDR2 that runs at, wait for it, an
effective speed of 667MHz. Sat, 20 Nov, 2004 | 22 Click(s) | Related: Reviews or Talks | Detail
