Hi,

please, I realy need your help. I have P4 3.0c and Asus P4C800-E deluxe. And i don´t know, which memory is the best for me. I am planing overclock minimum at @3.5 = DDR 466

I was look at the forum, and I have finded this:

-- OCZ pc3700 GOLD ?
-- OCZ pc3500 Platinum ?
-- Mushkin PC-3500 Level 2
-- others???????

Iam from Europe, and I cannot find any shop which sells Buffalos RAMs. And I want to use DualChannel. (2x256 or 2x512)

Thank a lot, it is too urgent!

lesse...
OC to a minimum of 233mhz,
Dual Channel prefered...

well...it depends on how much money you got, and how much you want to have better performance, you can get pc3200 and use a 5:4 RAm ratio...
or you can get pc3700 and see if you can get some timings out of it, or pc3500........

from your list, id advize the mushkin lvl2 ram, since it is guaranteed BH-5 chips...

how far do you want to go with the OC?

Abot money, i think i can spend about 200 EUR on it, but this is the real maximum, cheaper RAMs is REAL welcomed


Its ram:fsb -- 1:1 the best?

Down at the bottom there is the Mushkin 512mb PC3500 Level2 dual channel. Its 210Euro + shipping depending on where you live this may or may not be too much for you.

Good luck either way, i have a list of sites in belgium, germany and the netherlands that I am building my computer from if you want those PM me

good luck

Yes, but only if you can keep your timings low at the same time as you raise your FSB.

Thank you for your help, and what about some Corsairs or HyperX ? This memory is not for me? Or Mushkin lvl2 is better?

The Mushkin is known to be Winbond BH-5. The others may or may not be.

I have the same mobo and CPU as you and I just got a gig of Corsair XMS 3500C2 from NewEgg today. Needless to say, I think it's the option for my particular setup.
