Hey guys, i have a couple of a-data hyperram pc4200 512mb sticks... Im afraid the dfi mobo wont like them so im thinking about selling them and getting a couple of ocz vx

Is it worth to switch? Im not exactly a tight-timings-tard so as long as my current ram can hold up to 266MHz FSB with crap timings (3-4-4-8) ill be happy....

anybody got any experience on the issue?

should i upgrade just for the timings?

whats the point of swtiching to VX if you are not a "tight-timings-tard"? i don't see any reason for you getting the VX, why not some tccd instead?

i might join the tight timings tard if the performance boost is worth the hassle. i havent seen a sizeable boost but i would like to be proved wrong, specialy now that people say in a64 timings dont matter that much anymore

so i must take positive that nf3 likes the hynix chips my memory has... hmmm thats good news...

well, i asked in the memory section wether the timings are worth it, and tight timings vs lagged timings where worth 1000+ points in 3dmark2k1 (which is very cpu dependant)

im starting to consider the ocz vx seriously...
