Mobile DDR3 memory speeds up

Gskill's happy memories - awaiting the notebooks
Wednesday, 7 January 2009, 16:38

WE JUST received a bunch of Gskill's mobile DDR3-1333 memory sticks, declared as CL9-9-9-24 at stock voltage.

This has to qualify as 'good memory modules' as they are above even the highest Montevina DDR3 spec - the DDR3-1066 for FSB1066 CPU parts. The full performance of these DIMMs can only be realised if you overclock your extreme gaming notebook to FSB1333, which isn't easy. Charles "Fugger" had his quad-core demo unit at the last IDF running only around FSB1200, and that guy should know something about overclocking.

Now, a suggestion to the vendors: since these DIMMs could presumably also run as low latency CL6 or CL7 DDR3-1066 modules, let's do two things - first, make sure there is an optimised SPD setting for 1066 timing in these modules, and second: dear "extreme(ly expensive) notebook" vendors, we want some memory setting options in those expensive BIOSes too.

In the meantime, we're hunting for a good FSB-overclockable quad core notebook to drive these DIMMs mad. µ

Stock Voltage?

A stock voltage of what? I do recall after you folks published an article saying DDR3 with voltage over 1.65 volts would burn out i7's...I also recall HALF of the DDR3 on Newegg to be over 1.65 volts at the time. No links? No more information? What's the point?

Theres Lower Volt DDR3 Now.

Some few days ago, next lower state v. was demonstrated or announced, so notebook might be near 1/2 volt less then these older models. Seems took .5 volt cut in lieu of latency cut. Heres another memory idea, its SSD. What if took DDR(X) fastest with batteries to power constantly AND put around it ALL of Various Flash memory types available today, to start primitive archetecture of fastest & qualities of less all in one SSD. Lastly, Windows Commandos' 2009, flash drives & explosives management. hahahahaaaahhhh drashek
