In Reply to: RE: cMP - the open source high-end Memory Player posted by cics on December 30, 2007 at 04:42:01
I want to buy new ram, 2gb DDR2 Kingston HyperX for my GA31M. I see several versions: a "low latency" version, a "blue" and some versions with CL4 and CL5 ratings.
Which one should I choose for my cmp setup?

You realize cics recommends 256mb ram due to low power draw. I have tested 256mb / 1 gb ram and prefer 256 by a wide margin. Just sayin'.

Reply to "theob": I realise that 256mb memory might be better than 1gb or 2gb due to lower power draw but 256mb is not enough to load an entire WAV file into memory.
Hi-rez is even larger and to be able to play Hi-rez my idea would be to go for 2gb.
Which HyperX version of DDR2 would draw lower power, CL4, CL5 or the standard HyperX called "Blue"?
AF,
No need for large memory. Cplay at some point was changed to read not whole songs but portions. You will notice that one long tracks for redbook it adds a number in parenthesis (usually 2) to show the number of reads to memory it does.
Look at the specs, it only supports a max of 1g anyhow. FWIW I used 512mb because that was the smallest I could find.
No one here remembers the bending of our minds
