How do you tell on newegg if the ram is made with the TCCD chips or not? I don't see anywhere on there that you can tell. I am trying to44 decide on ram on my upcoming A64 rig in this thread: http://www.short-media.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25917
Is there something that designates in the model number what chips the ram is made with? How does one tell with other ram manufacturers like OCZ, Mushkin, Kingston Hyper X, etc? Thanks and I apologize for my stupidity in advance.
I thought there was a link to another forum with a listing of the different sticks that have the TCCD chips. I dont see it tho. I dont remember the forum either. There are several sticks posted above that are pretty much sure to have those chips.
I went to anandtech's socket 939 PC3200 ram roundup and it cleared up a lot of my questions. They specified the ram to get for the tccd chips. According to the article though, the crucial ballistix did quite well too even though it is based on the micron chips rather than the samsung tccd chips. None of it is cheap for sure.

Thought I'd just add that I now have gig of Patriot XBLK & its fantastic. Memtest stable at 280, 2.5, 4,4,8. Haven't bothered trying tighter timings but will probably do so over the weekend if I have time. The other good thing was I only paid £134 for it instead of the usual £180 as the supplier got their prices mixed up.
Some size and rated FSB, but diffrent timings. If I could get a stick of 512MB ram which I could run at 215 and at 2.5 or lower for $65, I'll get a stick this weekend.
Depends on the timings SMJ. TCCD do like it low. But as soon as you use cas 2 over 210, you need to beef it up. 215 at 2.5 shouldn't be any problem at 2.5,3,3,7 at all. If you want, i can test that for you with the Platinum 3700 here. Same chips and PCB, just different spd programming and different speedbin.
Yeah mine's the XBL stuff not the Vanilla ram nor the eXtreme stuff. What is a bummer is that my new 3200 won't do much over 2.5g just like my last one, so I'm having to run it at 280 fsb x 9

From what I can tell, the "XBL" stuff is what makes the "eXtreme" stuff so extreme...

Are you talking about this thread?
Ram with Samsung TCCD - Listing @ xtremesystems Forum
Excellent Memory!
Not sure what you mean but mine doesn't say extreme on it anywhere so I think its just the plain vanilla low latency stuff.
Plain vinilla
