Whoa this is friggin hard !!

Senater_Cache · Aug 3, 2004

I have spent the last weeks researching for my upcoming RAM purchase.
NF7 v2.0
2500-mobile on water
Radeon 9800pro
I am looking for an OC of 2.5 with a fsb of ~210-230. But I am willing to run @200 also.
The stix will be single-piece 512mb. No matched pairs

As of today, I am indecisive between the following two OCZ stix:
A 512 MB DDR PC-3200 (400) OCZ CL2 Platinum
B 512 MB DDR PC-3200 (400) OCZ Rev.3

I am not sure if the jump from 2-3-3-6 (B) to 2-2-3-5 (A) is worth the ten dollars ?
---
As a second option I looked at some Corsair XMS.
So after the thought: which is better, OCZ, or XMS,? I need advice regarding the following modules.
A CMX512-3200C2, Latency: 2-3-3-T1
B CMX512-3200C2PT, Latency: 2-3-3-T1

Not only is the OCZ cheaper, it also has better timings. What gives?? PLease help me out.
-OCZ or XMS?
-which of the two respective modules?
help is very very much appreciated...

Are you getting matched pair or just single sticks? If matched pair XMS if not ocz

Senater_Cache · Aug 3, 2004

ohh sorry I shouldve specified...it WILL be SINGLE 512 modules. NO dc NO matched pairs

I'd go for the pair with the best timings. OCZ and Corsair are both great memory makers and I don't think you could wrong with either.

I am leaning towards the PLatinum OCZ EL with 2-2-3-5 1T timings for $123.
That seems like a good bet.
How are the EL ICs?? anyone know.

i heard wonderful things abotu the overclockability of the EL line from OCZ

with the right setup you can max your board out like meeeeee...

SeanOMatic · Aug 3, 2004

Cache,

If you are looking for maximum overclockability, go with our EB line. The EL line will do tight timings and comes at a great value, if that is what you are looking for, go for it.

hey sean, what ics do the pc4000 gold ram use..? Cache i would go with the ocz , they have never failed me.

Senater_Cache · Aug 3, 2004

thanks Sean,
believe me when I tell you, I would LOVE to get some EB, but $130 max is what I can spend...( I am assembling a full fleded PC with a tight budget)
Point me in a direction with some 512 stix EB, and ill jump on it like hell.

k, thanks for the link buddy..
Will these do CL2 @ 200 ??

violineb · Aug 4, 2004

No, no they won't. You'll have to read up on EB technology

They do cas 2.5 at 200 , but because of their EB label they run just as fast as cas 2..... and at higher speeds they beeat everything on the market which runs at the same DDR speed

...uhhh bs... put any ram at the same FSB with cas2 and the EB at 2.5 and the EB will lose
