GEIL PC3700 Golden Dragon spec changed?

WTF read http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/memory/GeIL_PC3700_Golden_Dragon_2.html

GEIL PC3700 Golden Dragon 03Q3 are now rated at 2.5-4-4-7 and not 2.5-3-3-7 like my not so good sticks pictured here (http://www.fileshosts.com/memory/geil/pc3700gd/1/web/pc3700gd_05.html)

wonder if i was to RMA mine now would i get 2.5-3-3-7 or 2.5-4-4-7 ?

:eek:

I think that might be because the Hynix chips that are being used are spec'ed for RAS to CAS of 4. . . Weird change though . . . :confused:

yeah the cas 2.5-3-3-7 was what was tempting enough for me to buy in the first place... will see how they do on P4C800-E maybe they might work at 2.5-3-3-7
