®®® Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 My Chipset (845MP) supports: SODIMM Capacity: 512 MB SODIMM Organisation: 64M x 64 Density: 512 Mbit DDR Organization: 64M x 8 # of Components: 8 Package Type: 66 lead TSOP # of physical banks: 1 # of Banks in DDR: 4 # Adress Bits (row/col): 13/11 The Intel 845MP Chipset memory controller directly supports one channel of PC1600 or PC2100 SO-DIMM DDR memory. The Intel 845MP Chipset memory interface supports DDR devices with densities of 64-Mb, 128-Mb, 256-Mb, and 512-Mb technology. The maximum memory support is two, double-sided SO-DIMMs (four rows populated). The Intel 845MP Chipset memory interface also supports variable page sizes of 2 KB, 4 KB, 8 KB, and 16 KB. Page size is individually selected for every row and a maximum of 16 pages may be opened simultaneously. DDR Interface Overview The Intel 845MP Chipset MCH-M supports DDR at 200 and 266 MHz and includes support for: ? Up to 1 GB of PC2100 DDR ? PC2100, unbuffered, 200-pin DDR SO-DIMMs ? Maximum of 2 SO-DIMMs, Single-sided and/or Double-sided b ? Configurable optional ECC Intel 845MP main memory controller targets CAS latencies of 2 and 2.5 for DDR. Intel 845MP provides refresh functionality with a programmable rate (normal DDR rate is 1 refresh/15.6 us). I would like to have max. performance, but i'm not quite sure which memory module is the right one. CAS 2 is supported by chipset. As far as i know is PC2700 (DDR333) backward compatible to PC2100 (DDR266) like in the days of PC133=compatible with PC100 and PC66. Kingston has this interesting site where they state that both DDR266 and DDR333 work with my system: http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurat...&submit1=Search There is GeIL with the following modules: http://www.geilusa.com/proddetail.asp?linenumber=34 http://www.geilusa.com/proddetail.asp?linenumber=32 Are they any more manufacturers of memory modules SODIMM you know of, preferly in Europe to save shipping cost? Any suggestions what to buy or look for? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scott Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I recently bought the following memory for my Dell Inspiron 8600 which, according to AIDA32, uses an i855PM chipset. www.kingmax.com/product/pro_protMSAC22D-38KB3.htm I bought them for US $94 each from www.newegg.com which, unfortunately, does not ship internationally. I am, however, pleased with the memory module quality and its price seems to be better than many of the "boutique" brands of quality modules (at the time of purchase, crucial.com was selling comparable modules for about $120). -Scott- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Will have a look at their webiste. thanx I totally forgot about SAMSUNG... must also check out their website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Poirotzs Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hi, Which mark of memory is the best for our toshiba ? Kingston Technology , Dane-Elec , Corsair or official memory ? Thanks Poirotzs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Korpowski Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 Hello I have only a Dell I8200 wich use also an Intel 845MP. What I already some times readed is, that it support up to 2GB of ram! But I can't give you any garatie for it... Well, I would say Crucial-RAM should be a good choice, they have special modules for "each" system witch will work probably. I use only crucial memory, because they are fast, and of good quality. Robert PS. they are also cheap (micron-ram, direct reseller) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofelas Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 ®®® - I've found that my Samsung memory performed slightly better than others I've tried (Kingston, Crucial/Micron & Siemens/Infineon), as tested with memtest86.

®®® Posted March 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 I know, i also like samsung mem. back in the days, i strictly bought and used samsung mem for Desktops Sytems. Currently i have 2x256 Samsunf modules, but they need to be replaced NOW. Thanks again for writing down your experiences here :) (Korpowski, unfortunetaly i can't afford buying a 2x1GIG mem, just for testing purposes. Muesst ick erstmal im Lotto gewinnen, oder wie sind da zur Zeit die Preise?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofelas Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 ®®®, I may have extra 512MB modules of Samsung PC2100 kicking around, e-mail me at ofelas@rogers.com if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Hi there, I would absolutely recommend Infineon memory. It's best quality overall, very high performance and stable like a rock. Personally, I had stability issues with Kingston and Micron/Crucial in the past and will buy only Infineon from now on. An alternative may be Corsair...but it's even more expensive ;-) ulysse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofelas Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 The two 1GB sticks of 333MHz PC2700 on my Precision M60 laptop are made by Elpida...first time I've used Elpida, but the modules have full coverage heat spreaders....seem to be quality RAM from what I've found on Google...

Kamika007z Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Hi everyone, I want to get an idea as to which RAM would be the FASTEST and BEST notebook memory there is to buy? I want to give me i8200 1gb stick, so I will have 1.5gb, but before I do this, I need to know which is the fastest? I looked at corsair, but they have a voltage of 2.6. I looked at ocz, and theirs is a 2.5 voltage. I also looked at crucial memory and it wasn't mentioned. Please let me know. I want to make a purchase asap! :) Thank you in advance!

LSudlow Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 John, I've always used Crucial with great success. I've never heard anything but good reports about them. (I've just upgraded my Inspiron 5150 to 1GB of Crucial RAM and it's doing great so far!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 It seems we are both on the same mission, i'm looking forever here and there and not very ambitious :) to upgrade CPU and RAM to the best possible ratio price and performance related. CPU: 2,6Ghz/SL6WZ is max, but the availability at EBAY is very rare and the price is very high :) (250,-) RAM: is another story and i'm about to get rid of the idea of the fastest and bestest, as it's timewise a pain to research the detailed timings for notebook ram. My last buying decision was about G.E.I.L Golden bla RAM, i will post a link later to the the modules and their specs. The price and timings were ok. max. is 1GB, so i need 2x512.

Kamika007z Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 :) Thanks guys, I appreciate the information. About the CPU: Intel decided late into the p4-m stage to produce two more cpu's before finishing off the line and starting the centrino's About the RAM: Thank you, again, to both of you. I would be really interested in seeing that link Rene :P :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 The M50 uses the same RAM as the I8200 right? The 1 GB modules for that on crucial's mem selector should work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamika007z Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Bill, Yeah the M50 uses the same as the i8200. They are the same board. Rene, Wow! is all I can say. Do they offer any 1GB sticks? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 i don't think so, but i haven't looked for that as i need 2x512 (max. 1GB). Btw here's the link to verify if it's a true P4-M (ebay sellers often advertise their CPUs wrong) to verify: http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/l...asp?ProcFam=826 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®®® Posted July 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) John, did you compare the timings and specs for the modules you are interested in? Can you provide a short overview of what OCZ, Corsair, G.E.I.L and Kingston offers? It just came to my mind that i was also interested in SAMSUNG memory, as i always had good experience with it in the past (@desktops): high quality (SPD always included), low price, timings were great also (though not spectacular as some of the new OCs memory modules).

Kamika007z Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 When I get a chance I will post them. However, I got the memory timings from looking at www.newegg.com For now, gotta run to class! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamika007z Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 This Patrio ram looks awesome. I sure love to plug and go with it... (haha yeah it's funny, I'm sure other companies haven't "caught on" to that technology... lol) However, it's a 184 pin module, not a 200 pin one. Unless I'm looking at the wrong area?

®®® Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 :) i have overseen that. A pity that they don't offer S0Dimms. It seems there is no great timings 200pin RAM modules out there :) Sorry for the confusion :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
