This is sort of a blast from the past but some folks have been asking about DDR2 modules here so I decided to post this OC Report of some of my better well-rounded DDR2 kits. Buffalo Technology has developed a fairly well known brand with their FireStix line of memory and really gotten their foot in the door with the enthusiast. They were known as one of the better values throughout enthusiast forums while DDR2 prices were still fairly high offering D9GMH/D9GKX at a better price than most other manufacturers. Now that DDR2 prices have dropped through the floor, the value the FireStix line offered isn't really there anymore.
As always, I provide full disclosure with any info I post and this report is no different. I received these modules directly from Buffalo Technology as a review sample but I was assured that they were your average retail sample sent from the same place they would have been sent from had I ordered them myself. Here are the basic specifications of these modules:
Code:
* Part #FSX1200D2D-K2G
* 2GB kit (2 x 1024MB)
* DDR2-1200 5-6-6 @ 2.3v
* 2x 240-pin DDR2 DIMMs
* Non-ECC, Unbuffered
* Aluminum heat spreader with thermally-conductive adhesive
* Lifetime Warranty
These are fairly hard to find modules but I was still able to find them at NCIX up here in Canada. At the time of writing this, they were listed for $375 CND. Of course, you can also purchase these modules directly from Buffalo for $289 USD. Hopefully NCIX just has them listed for a higher price until they come in stock. I hate how NCIX gouges certain items because they are the only supplier in Canada but what can you do? Either way, let's have a quick look at the package and the modules themselves.
