Old shcool stuff :p

Another cold rainy day here

Going through my old stuff I found some memory sticks.
Thought of selling them off until I saw the chips on 2 of them






The chips on these are D9GCT's. Yes-yes I still love all D9Gxx's especially the GKX

Seeing the chips I expected atleast 800@ CL4 but boy was I in for a huge surprise.

Quickly removed the cellys and placed these in and the system booted just fine I forgot to rest the bios but that didn't seem to affect these babies at all.
With a little tweak this is what these do With just 2.05V at CL4 The exact same settings that my cells needed. 32MB stable. Worked on the system for a while and everything seems stable.





I'm very sure these can even do 1000 @ CL4 with 2.15-2.2 will try pushing them later.
These arent as good as the GKX but anything that can do CL4 @ 950 with just 2.05V is good enough for poor old me
Right now the board is on a older bios, wont handle 4 gigs well, an updated bios is out I just need to flash it and I *hope* I can run these with my cells at CL4 4gb at CL4 woot

nice, which company are those sticks? transcend? and what PL?

Insane Reminds me of the days of the GKX benching

Apo dada No re Crucial OEM sticks..

sigh the good old times, staying up nights and days just to get to touch 4ghz

Dont remind me of those days

I miss those days! Where the only consequence of staying up so late was that I slept in class. Taking tips from the pros to reach as high a speed as possible! And drooling over the chips Deejay and Darky got. I had a bloody CBBID . I AM getting too old!

^I have that CBBID. Still works fine.
Maybe it realised one not-so-ok leg out of hundreds is not as bad as one out of two.

I was too old anyways- but had a great time watching you guys compete for fun.

Yeah man, that was awesome fun! The golden years of TE for me. It was such a casual, fun, interactive forum. Deals were made solely on trust! Sheesh.... you sent me that X2 without even waiting for payment or ANYTHING!

Unfortunately(for me), the forum has grown so big that the casual behaviour of earlier and the informality has disappeared.... Times are changing

^^^ Si-Si the glory days! We never realized how good we had it back then, And yes the one and only kaput boi
The small pond that once was has grown into a big raging river
You never actually miss something until its gone,, this is soo true!

@ Nikhil if people like you start saying that they are getting old then there is no hope for people like me most of them are uncles now raising a family making babies

Bike sirr you were never too old. You still sound like your 22

^ You are still too young to feel like an oldie- so cut it out.

But in those days, there was nothing such as young/old, new/old, n00b/senior, skilled/unskilled, etc etc.
All interacted so freely though not overstepping the line ever, most at least.
I have met (most online and some in person too) some of the best people and made some best friends for life here at TE.

And good to see the Sandman here.
Maybe he is much luckier than he used to be and that must be keeping him very busy these days.

A trip down the memory lane - The history of TE. Nice read

@ HM---- So when am I getting these sticks

Wow those were the days innit! The A64s and E6600s

Felt nostalgic after reading some of the posts above.
I still remember those huge chat sessions with masky, Baatli, Chaos, Sunny, Appo, Blade and so on.
To be honest, the fun I had during the A64 days was the best. Dont think I will ever experience that ever again.
Do you guys remember, how it was a big deal to source even a third party cooler ?
I still remember how all of us were drooling when Baatli got those awesome Patriot DDR1 Ram kit based on Samsung TCCD.

Aah those good ol days !

err well i remember your made me funny about your owl story

so these day t.e is doing stronger

also i remember i sold the card 6600 Vanilla edition for 1.5k profile
