I was planning to get two Patriot Signature Line 512MB PC-3200 DDR400 for 119, then i saw that anitec had G.Skill Extreme Series F1-3200PHU2-1GBZX (2x 512MB DDR400 Matched Pair, CAS 2-3-3-6) on sale for 139. And i thought hey is that ram good? It's only 20 dollars more. Anyone know anything about the G. Skill and how much better it is than that Patriot Ram.
Thanks.

where are you from darkrebirth. 139 seems high for that Gskills. and its not the gskills tccd that some might be thinking of, the GBZX is the value line, that uses IC's from local tiwanesee ic makers.

I'd go with the patriot TCCD stuff if you can, it should be about the same price as the G.Skill and you'll be much better off as it's cas 2 2 2 5 timings. People have had very good luck with the patriot modules AFAIK.

did you pick up that g.skill ram? if so, how does it perform?
if you loosen the timings, think you could push it to 250?

i'm very close to getting these too. nice pricing at anitec...maybe i should stop by there sometime after work to pick it up, instead of ordering through newegg, through somebody else

i wish newegg would just ship to canada the offerings up here are pretty slim
