DDR 400 Memory Question


Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me what is the best Corsair DDR 400 Dual Channel memory that will work in the Intel D865GBF. The processor on the motherboard is a 3.0ghz p4 w/ht. I want the best performance possible and I was looking for either 4 x 512MB Chips or 4 x 1GB Chips. Either way they need to be dual channel compatible but if anyone could read the specs of the board and tell me what they would put in I would appreciate it. Also I do know that dual channel memory is sold usually in pairs.

for the Intel 865GBF i suggust you get the Corsair modules that end in "C2". Installing the most recent BIOS also will give you better memory compatibilty too and fix a bunch of bugs in that Motherboard. Visit the Intel site for the file.

1GB DDR400 Modules do not exist at this time. At the most right now you can install 2GB (4x512).

Get a Corsair TwinX Kit they have 2 matched memory modules in the package.

Corsair 2x256 Kits:

TwinX512-3200C2 XMS3200 512MB 2-3-3-7-T1 2x184 DIMM Black Heat Spreader

TwinX512-3200C2PT XMS3200 512MB 2-3-3-7-T1 2x184 DIMM Platinum Heat Spreader

Corsair 2x512 Kits:

TwinX1024-3200C2 XMS3200 1024MB 2-3-3-7-T1 2x184 DIMM Black Heat Spreader

TwinX1024-3200C2PT XMS3200 1024MB 2-3-3-7-T1 2x184 DIMM Platinum Heat Spreader

thanks, I just hope that memory is the right one because the reason I asked if the memory doesnt meet the specs the mobo causes blue screens.

Update the 865GBF's BIOS for the best memory compatibilty.

BIOS P09:

Yes. If you can afford them. go with the Pro model which has those nice LED's on them and the Black Heat Spreader.

    • Google's financial performance remains unaffected by competition from ChatGPT by Pradeep Viswanathan Today, Alphabet (Google's parent company) announced earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Overall revenue was $96.4 billion, up 14% YoY, thanks to the strong performance of Google Search & other, YouTube ads, Google subscriptions, platforms, and devices, and Google Cloud. Each of these businesses delivered double-digit growth in Q2. Google Cloud posted the strongest growth at 32% YoY, driven by the growing momentum of Google Cloud Platform (GCP), which includes AI Infrastructure and Generative AI Solutions. Its annual revenue run-rate is now more than $50 billion. In addition to revenue growth, Alphabet also posted strong margin improvement, reporting an operating income of $31.2 billion, up 32% YoY. Sundar Pichai, Alphabet CEO, said: During the earnings call, Sundar Pichai also revealed that the Gemini App now has more than 450 million monthly active users and that daily requests grew by over 50% since the last quarter. Despite ChatGPT’s explosive growth, Google appears unaffected so far, thanks to the strong financial performance of Google Search and the growing momentum of Gemini. However, it remains to be seen whether Google can hold its ground as ChatGPT increasingly attracts younger users who are turning to it over traditional Google searches.

    • I care more about ethical LLMs than open source LLMs. Would be great if they declare that the training data was sourced without copyright infringement.
    • Yep social media addiction is no different than alcohol or cigarettes.
    • I strongly feel it is a test bed for foldables. No other reason to slim down the phone even further, despite have a massive camera bump.
