Uber, im not sure why the single sided , i know all the tests they did they preffered the singles. the double sided i imagine would be as good, i just know for a fact the single will do it.

Omega, the only place i know for sure that sells TRUE samsung is newegg if they ship down there.

I'm guessing that it's because its got less chips so there's less to go wrong, hence a greater chance of a better overclock.

Simpler PCB layout, cleaner trace lines, less crosstalk.

Just plain mo betta, unless you'd like good capacity to go with that hefty OC.

In other words, I'll take my 2GB at 150 CAS2 over 512MB at 200 CAS2, but that's IMHO.

I ordered the memory from www.ocsystem.com, and I did it because they where advertising the memory as true Samsung, but I guess they thought, since I'm from Puerto Rico, to give me some cheapo memory since "He's far away, he won't complain".
But guess what?
Tomorrow I'm calling and ask them for an exchange, I want a TRUE Samsung PCB along with the chipset, not the cheapo stuff...

Sorry to hear that you got screwed.

That truley suxors!

Yup I went thru a few vendors that said it was genuine Samsung only to find out it wasn't. So I went back to my trusty Newegg and indeed got the real stuff. They cost more, but it's worth it
