Article seems to imply these are new but they have been available since last Autumn. Also, they are tested at five performance ratings, not two, which eliminates much of the messin' when overclocking the FSB/CPU.
Dear Wesley Fink, May I know the memory timing used for PDP at highest performance 315, i.e. tRFC, tRRD, tWR,tWTR, tRTW, tREF, DQS, Drive strenght ect. If it is set to Auto, could you please read the value with Athlon64 Tweaker? :-) Does 315MHz 1:1 passed memtest test 8 and prime95 stress test? This is because I am running PDP stable at 289MHz, 3.0-4-4-10 Thanks.
It brought a tear to my eye that you guys have already gotten the Everest benchmarks worked into the review. :)
though, out of curiosity, do you plan to go back with the ram you tested previously on the dfi and add the everest scores to them? i'm sure it'll take up quite a bit of time though :/

Any idea if this product is sold in Canada? I really like the balance of value and performance.Wesley Fink - Friday, April 8, 2005 - link
#16 - It is XBLK as you found, and the article has been updated. My tests for dyslexia are next week :-)ozzimark - Friday, April 8, 2005 - link

XBLK is what it is.I currently use it an hit the following stable.
MBD: MSI NEO2
Memory: 280 2.5-3-4-7 2.8v 1:1 ratio
Wish had the DFI board I think with 2.9 I could hit 290. I have hit 282 with 2.5-4-4 2.85v but that is really the limit. with my NEO2.
Its nice memory, when I purchased had gotten it for 186 :)

Dunno if there are 2 different kinds, but throughout the article, you refer to it as XLBK, & the only results I can find price-wise are for XBLK. FYI.Wesley Fink - Friday, April 8, 2005 - link
#9 - The unique appearance of the back of the Brainpower PCB is much clearer in the p.2 photo in our Corsair PC4400 review at http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.aspx?i=231...OR you can direct link the Corsair Brainpower photo at http://images.anandtech.com/reviews/memory/ddr/cor...

#11 - It should read "Memory Read performance increased about 29% with this 50% speed increase, while Memory Write performance improved by just 17%."The review has been corrected.
#13 - It depends on which Kingston you are talking about. We include two Kingston Value Ram products in next week's Value RAM Roundup.
