Hi all,
I'm looking to buy some ram for my new built pc and Twinmos ram seem to be the cheapest at my local retail store. But i did heard that their DDR1 ram need a higher voltage then other brand in order to work stable. Does this apply to its DDR2 ram? Also, i'm not sure if Twinmos ram is supported by this motherboard - Biostar TP35D2-A7. The board manufacturer web site does not have any info. on that.
Here the link to the price list, its SGD64 for 1gb (Twinmos PC2 6400) -

$45 for 1gb??? Sounds like el-cheap-o Ram to me.

mountain,
www.crucial.com doesn't help. All recommended ram are manufactured by them only. Moreover, if i can use the new built to access crucial's website, i don't think i need to find out if twinmos will work with it...lol
Outlander,
I'm from singapore, they do ship to asia?
Anyone here own a Biostar TP35D2-A7 and is running those value Twinmos ram?

If you have a Intel chipset board than you will not be able to run the value brand ram.
Only sis and Via boards.
I think they ship international.

If you only get a single stick of RAM, you'll only be able to run single channel mode. Standard DDR2-SDRAM runs at 1.8v...performance RAM requires more voltage. It appears the RAM you chose runs at 1.8v:

TwinMos is decent name brand RAM, not "el-cheap-o" stuff. As a matter of fact, considering RAM prices these days, $45 for 1GB is kinda expensive. In the US, you can get 2GB (2 x 1GB) of DDR2-800 performance RAM for less than that. Here's a few examples:
2GB DDR2 PC2-6400 DUAL CHANNEL KIT / (2X1GB) / OCZ / VISTA UPGRADE EDITION - $38 (after rebate)
OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 / 800 MHz / Reaper HPC Edition / Dual Channel / (2X1GB) - $45 (after rebate)
OCZ EL DDR2 PC2-6400 / 800 MHz / Enhanced Latency / Platinum Edition - $43 (after rebate)
And just for the heck of it, here's a link to a 1GB stick of HP/Compaq compatible DDR2-677 for just $9 after rebate:

Get the DDR2-800 (PC2-6400) & clock it down to the same frequency as the CPU...that way you'll have plenty of headroom for overclocking. If you get an 800MHz FSB CPU (200MHz freq), set the memory speed to DDR400. Then when you overclock the CPU, the RAM will overclock right along with it at 1:1 ratio.
NOTE: *Some* boards don't have DDR400 as an option. If your's doesn't, you'll have to go with DDR533.
If you get a 1066MHz (266MHz freq) CPU, set the memory to DDR533. And if you get a 1333MHz FSB CPU (333MHz freq), set the memory to DDR667.

Thanks.
I'm a bit confused about the ram rating. Am i correct to say that if i buy PC667(PC5300) ram, the max it will go is 8(E2140 clock multiplier) x 333mhz = 2664mhz? And PC800(6400) will be at 8 x 400mhz = 3200mhz?
