Hello again, my name is Rodney Reynolds and welcome to another video review. Today, I’m looking at the Ultra DDR PC-3200 XL Memory. The speed on this memory is 400MHz DDR or PC3200 and has a CAS of two with a complete memory timing of 222 and five.

Now, what does DDR and CAS mean? DDR stands for double data rate and that means it doubles the bandwidth of the memory by transferring data twice as fast on both the rising and the falling of the clock cycle. CAS stands for Column Access Select or Column Access Strobe and that essentially means the number of cycles for the memory to get information and then process that information. Also keep in mind that the lower CAS is much better than a higher CAS. For example, a CAS of two will result in better performance than 2.5 or 3 so try and keep the CAS as low as possible when overclocking.

Now, this memory is dual channel which means better over a memory bandwidth resulting in superior performance. In order to benefit from this technology though, you will need to have a dual channel motherboard. Non-dual channel motherboards do not have too fully independent 64-bit memory controllers but dual channel boards do which means they have a 128-bit memory interface. Now, this memory will work on non-dual channel motherboards but of course the overall performance will be much less at the same megahertz. This kit is comprised of two modules of 512MB each totalling one gigabyte in size. The speed again is PC3200 or 400MHz DDR and has a blistering fast timing of 222 and five. Now remember, that’s at 400MHz its default and the voltage on this memory is 2.6 to 2.7. And keep in mind, the memory does come with a lifetime warranty and each module has an aluminum heat spreader to dissipate the heat.

As you’re going to clearly see from the results, this memory is highly overclockable and the performance is insane. To be able to get PC3200 400MHz DDR or front-side bus of 200 all the way up to 200, an 85MHz is astounding. Now, my test system could only go up to 285MHz. You can probably even push this higher than 285MHz. Considering the bang for the buck on this product, the performance and the overclock ability, without a doubt this is a 100% kick ass product.
