Re: DDR2 1GB RAM Stick Sought

As the wiki article shows, if it is truly to be PC-5300 then, yes it
will be 667, seeing as the PC-#### number is just the data transfers/s
(in millions) x 8 and rounded (or thereabouts).

I suspect the 333 relates instead to the I/O Clock frequency

333 each side sounds like rubbish though, made up by someone in a
desperate attempt to sound computer literate... It failed cos he didnt
use enough big words obviously

I think the real reason is in the overview... omething about double
pumping and differing clock rates

Came this utterance formulated by Perry Spiller to my mailbox:

The people at ram upgrades said the 333 is per side.
I.e. the stick itself is rated @ 667, when both sides
are counted?

Ah - ok? Sounds a little like doublespeak, or Orwellian Newspeak to me.
The stick is rated at 333 or 667, not both. How the stick actually works
is another story, thats what the DDR2 means.

Anyone got a (single) stick for sale?

Seems to be quite about around, but mostly 667MHz. Would that be

a> problem?

It won't matter if you pick up 667MHz, it's all compatible it just

won't run at full speed (ie. don't pay extra for it). More detail
can be found under the Backward Compatibility section of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ddr2

One thing i'd add is leave the slower stick in slot0.
