by I recently bought an Asus P4C800E-deluxe motherboard with the intel 875p
chipset which is supposed to support ECC memory. For this motherboard I
also bought the good fast Corsair TWINX1024RE-3200LL 2x512Mb which is ECC
and has a CAS latency of 2.
Unfortunately I found out the hard way that this memory is registred and
my motherboard requires unbuffered memory so this fine memory does not
work with my motherboard.
Reading the ASUS QVL I can only find ECC memory from Kingston and Samsung
and those are slower with a CAS latency of 3.
I haven't been able to find any unbuffered PC3200 ECC memory with a CL of
2, but I have found Transcend TS64MLD72V4F with a CL of 2.5. I don't want
to do the same mistake again and buy a memory that doesn't work with my
motherboard, could someone please verify if this memory works with the
intel 875p chipset? Also, does anyone know of a faster unbuffered PC3200
ECC DDR?
One more question... At
http://shop4memory.com/products/ddr-ram-transcend-pc3200.asp they sell
Transcend memory. The TS64MLD64V4F3 and the TS64MLD64V4F seem to be
exactly the same except that TS64MLD64V4F3 is CL3 and TS64MLD64V4F is
CL2.5. I'm a little bit confused that they both have exactly the same price.
Isn't TS64MLD64V4F3 a slower memory? If so, I would expect it to also be
cheaper. Did I misunderstand something about CAS latency and the
performance of memory?
I haven't been able to find anyone who sells these Transcend DDRs in
Sweden where I live. Before I order new memory from Ireland or somewhere
else I really would like to know for sure that the memory will work.
