Corsair to Continue Receiving Samsung TCCD Memory

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the not-done-yet dept.

Doggie Fizzle writes "Bigbruin.com has a review of some Corsair XMS TWINX1024-4400C25PT DDR, but info on the future of TCCD may be the most interesting part. TCCD chips are well known for their proven overclocking, but the buzz is that Samsung has stopped making TCCD chips, and that we will no longer see them on the market once the current supply runs out. Not true according to Corsair. According to a source quoted in the review, Corsair will soon be the only source of TCCD chips."

    Personally I don't much like the XMSTWINX1024-4400C25PT. I think it's a jerky name. Still, it could be worse. I once knew an memory stick whose middle name was 2Q4B. Poor sucker!

    'bling' wasn't a word 10 years ago.

    I once had a teacher that used to say " 'um' is not a word, it is not in the dictionary. " whenever a student speaker said 'um'. When she did it to me I open the dictionary on her desk to the 'U's...

    um also umm Audio pronunciation of "um", interjection.

    Used to express doubt or uncertainty or to fill a pause when hesitating in speaking.

    I can't tell the difference between a machine running with this XMS memory and one with normal DDR SDRAM.

    And there was me still having difficulty telling the difference between EMS and XMS memory - does anyone else feel that computer technology is leaving them behind?

    I built myself a new PC earlier this year. Half the acronyms had changed since I'd built my previous one... ;-)

    Imagine....

    Sales Clerk:May I help you?

    Customer:Yes, I was wanting to ask about that new Corsair RAM.

    Sales Clerk:Which one?

    Customer:Oh you know, the one with the really long, hard-to-understand name...

    Sales Clerk:pardon?

    Customer:Ummm, the one with random letters and numbers in it...

    Sales Clerk:Sir, if you wish to speak to me, please do so coherently.

    Customer: (!#*$! If I could only remember that @!#!@# name!)

      Customer: It's the XMSTWINX1024-4400C25PT. Finally!

      Sales Clerk: No... I'm still not getting anything... Er, could you try it in a higher register?

      Customer: What do you mean in a higher register?

      Sales Clerk: What?

      Customer (in a high-pitched voice): I wish to have one memory stick XMSTWINX1024-4400C25PT.

      Sales Clerk: Ah! That's it, hang on a moment.
