God help them for they need all the help they can get.

It's a giant conspiracy, put your tin foil hat back on.

Well since MALWARE insists that all PR HYPE should be viewed as honest, accurate, FACTS, even when it's complete B.S., and he continues to abuse me via e-mail for stating an opposing point of view, I'm leaving Tech Power-Up because I refuse to cave in to the censorship here that serves only to perpetuate false, misleading information distributed by companies who's only goal is financial gain. I have nothing to gain financially by shilling, contrary to this site and other sites that pander to product suppliers.

I realize there are a lot of gullible and tech challenged people in the world and I hope that my posts have helped educate and open the eyes of those who would be foolish enough to believe most of the dribble that passes as a New Product Release. If truth in advertising laws were enforced most companies and hardware review site personnel would be locked in jail.

Have a great life folks !!! I don't need this place.

P.S. I think the screen name MALWARE says a lot about the person hiding behind it.

Timings? Nice they mentioned it... Probably don't want to scare people away.


Here's another Vista upgrade kit required to to get "xp like" performance. See pic.

Sorry about this but I have to crack it...

Now the one last thing we need is the *ANTI Microsoft* programming patch for Vista, a lot of reverse engineering...

Then it will work.

5-5-5-15 @1.8v for both kits according to the links. I guess it could be worse. I wonder what that 4GB kit could do with some extra voltage.

Yeah it's slow, but I'm willing to bet cas4 is possible on the 2GB kit at least. OCZ's cas4 kits usually run at 2.1v, so these would probably run a lot better with some extra voltage. My OCZ platinums can only manage 5-5-5-15 @ 1.8v too. That 4GB kit is what has my curiosity peaked. It's no worse than G.Skill's DDR2 800 kit that runs at 6-6-6-18(iirc), but those didn't overclock very well at all. I think we'll have to wait a little while before we start seeing 4GB kits with tighter timings.
