Mushkin Red Line Memory

Post by Apoptosis »

Mushkin Enhanced Memory is going to announce a new series of memory next week for computer enthusiasts. This memory series will be called the "Red Line", kind of goes with their color scheme... Black, Blue, Geen and so on. These modules will be available in 512mb capacities ONLY and come rated at PC-3500 (433MHz) and PC-4000 (500MHz).

Mushkin is not announcing what IC's or PCB's the modules are being built on, because "Mushkin has to keep competition at bay" for at least a little bit. Looking at the voltages shown below the PC-4000 modules are running at 3.3-3.4V. This leads LR to think they will be based on Winbond UTT IC's, but Mushkin didn't seem to agree with our conclusion. LR has had Winbond CH-5's, BH-5's, UTT's and also Samsung TCCD's at DDR500 2-2-2, so it could be a number of IC's.

I guess everyone will know next week what IC's are being used and hopefully these new Redline modules will keep on track with recent Mushkin modules and be enthusiast favorites.
Mushkin will be these new modules the Red Line Series … XP3500 and XP4000 with tight timings of 2-2-2.

991437- 512MB XP3500 2-2-2 @ 2.9v-3.0v Redline
991438- 1GB XP3500 2-2-2 @ 3.0v (2x512) Redline
991439- 512MB XP4000 2-2-2 @ 3.3v-3.4v Redline
991440- 1GB XP4000 2-2-2 @ 3.3v (2x512) Redline

Mushkin will also be discontinuing the 990992 and the 991140. These are the 512mb 3200 Blue cas 2-3-3 and 1gig dual kit 3200 blue (2x512mb). We have replaced them with better performing and better latency parts for the same low price.

These new parts are…

991432- 512MB PC3200 2-3-3 Blue
991433- 1GB PC3200 Blue Dual Pack (2x512MB)
991435- 512MB PC3200 2-3-2 @ 2.7V REDLINE
991436- 1GB PC3200 Dual Pack 2-3-2 (2x512MB) REDLINE

If it's BH-5 based it'll be a short lived product line. Word I'm hearing is they will stop that die (again) but continue to make the rev C's for a bit longer...
