Need help finding compatible RAM

[iNoob]

This is my current RAM: OCZ EL DDR PC4000 Dual Channel GOLD VX
SPECS:
2 x 512MB
DDR500
2-2-2-5 timing
3.2V

I want to get a second pair of identical memory but I can't seem to find it anywhere!! Is it possible that someone try this product for me? Or maybe suggest a set of RAM that will be completely compatible with this? Thanks in advance.

They are easy to find in 2 x 1GB modules, but hard to find in 2 x 512MB modules, however a simple google search of the part number (OCZ5001024ELDCGEVX-K) yielded a few results... here's a couple:

BTW, the specs you listed do not match the specs in the link you provided.

for the price of those things they should cook you breakfast every morning!! haha

Yea, the official specs are:
2 x 512
DDR500
2-2-2-8
3.3V

but i managed to achieve 2-2-2-5 at only 3.2V.

Ok so the set I was looking for is almost as expensive as OCZ EL DDR PC-4000 Gold GX XTC 2GB Dual Channel
specs:
2x1GB
DDR500
3-4-3-8
2.8V

If you were to choose, would you get the one I currently have? or ditch the old one and get the 2x1GB set?

*edit* or perhaps a different set?

If I were you I would get the 2 x 1GB sticks and sell the 2 x 512MB sticks on Ebay

(that's assuming that you can get the same timings as you have now)

I thought I read somewhere that large capacity RAM sticks have higher latencies than lower capacity RAM sticks, if this is true then performance wise you would be better off with 4 x 512MB sticks. (however I don't know if its true or not)

Yea, the timing for the 2 x 1GB sticks is 3-4-3-8 while the that for the 2 x 512MB is 2-2-2-8, but I'm not sure if the timing is worth a different in capacity of 1GB.

Also, isn't there something about CPU timing for the Athlon64? Something about 1T and 2T? I remember reading 4 sticks of ram will make the A64 run with 2T timing and 2 sticks will make it run in 1T (1T is better than 2T i think). Is that something to consider?
