RE: On OCZ 800MHz 1GB RAM try this setup

cics,

I have now had the opportunity to make this change as well as (importantly) have a decent listen over a few days. I can confirm that with 1GB OCZ Platinum set to 533MHz (rather than 400MHz as before) and with timings set to the values you have prescribed my impression is overall positive. I feel that there is more “body” in the music and that it is a “fuller”, more “natural” presentation. At the 400MHz setting, my feeling is that the presentation, by comparison, is a bit "trebley" which has the effect of conveying an undue sense of “speed”. In summary, I think the change is a good one providing the RAM is up to the task (Hyperx, OCZ or similar). My one hesitation is that if the system is already a bit “bloated” or “full” or “slow” the change will seem to slow things down even further which would not be desirable.

Thanks again for your guidance.

Regardz,
Bling
