These reviews should include the Twinmos Twister PC4000. This is reported to be able to do 2-2-3-6 at ddr400 at 2.75V and 2.5-3-3-6 (the only memory i have seen at 3-3 as ddr500) at ddr500 at 2.85V with the highest oc's at ddr530 at 2.5-3-3-8 at 2.85V.
I'm a little on the fence here. I have a watercooled setup with an IS7/2.4c combo and I was wondering what the best 2x 512 sticks of ram would be without killing the bank. I want to do some OC'ing so I was thinking of getting the Geil 4000 plat or Buffalo 3700 (BH-5 chips). Any reason to get another kind or not to get one of the ones I mentioned?? Thanks!
yes, but it is Geil platinium used in the test, that doesn't use WLCSP. and still the Golden Dragon series is good althernative for reducing the heat inside the case. And don't forget that Geil's Golden series last the first ddr500 modules back in March http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/memory/display/200303... though they didn't get available recently.

I wonder at which Performance Mode you have run the OC conditions (500 and 539 FSB)?PAT disabled, Fast or Turbo?

But Geil's memory OCed pretty nicely here - at least the sample Wes had did.Anonymous User - Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - link
WLCSP is intended as a thermal solution and to date hasn't shown much promise in the enthusiast sector as it doesn't OC as well as TSOP's.Elite9 - Wednesday, September 17, 2003 - link
Why is nobody but Geil using WLCSP packaging on their DIMMS? I've seen it in notebooks, but it seems to be a great option for high-speed DRAM.
