Any reports on the Corsair DDR400 mems?
Lookin' to snag 1 512mb DIMM of DDR400 before prices get too high. My choices are GEIL, Corsair, and OCSystem, according to pricewatch. Any word on these? I'm going to re-construct my Athlon XP system w/ a new Tbred hopefully running @ 10 x 200 right before school starts up again in late September, but for now, I just wanna get some memory that will be able to fit the bill.

QUESTION:
Are you asking; 1) Where to find these memory sticks? or 2) Do these manufacturers make these sticks? or 3) Which manufacturer should I buy from? Answers: 1) = Try Newegg.com 2) = I know that Corsair makes them but only in CAS 2.5. 3) = Corsair have never let me down....... Just picked up a single 512Mb Corsair PC3000 (183Mhz) DDR stick rated at CAS2 from Newegg about a month ago and it works great. I would even suspect that the PC3000 unit might even hit 200FSB with a few tweaks. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I was basically looking for user reports of people w/ DIMMS @ 400 mhz. I'll probably go w/ Corsair though.

Yeah, but some people just have to learn the hard way.
<== Got some OCZ "PC-3000" DIMMs and they barely do 140FSB at CAS 2. Could be my mobo though. Yeah, and hear this: I also bought a CPUFX Z4! Some people just don't have any luck, or are the last to hear about something that sucks. |

The 2.1 revision of the XMS3000 and 3200 uses Winbond chips. The RamGuy @ the Corsair forums says this it's faster than the older revision Samsung and to look for a CAS2 400Mhz part soon. So if you need it now, get some XMS3000 rev 2.1.
