G. Skill memory

[darkrebirth]

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.

G-Skill are the top of the line RAM and they are better known that Patriot.

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.

139 cad, i'm from Vancouver BC. GBZX is value line... i see.. So which would be better for that price. The patriot or the G.skill?

[CCUABIDExORxDIE]

id probably say the GBZX from GSkills would be a better choice.

thanks

actually, how well will this run in a DFI Lanparty Nf4 ultra d? I read that it gets errors?

[darkrebirth]

anyone know anything about the DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra D getting errors with G Skill ram?

[CCUABIDExORxDIE]

ive seen it do fine on the DFI platform. ram usually doesnt have issues with mobos anymore. some do, but most dont.

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.

[darkrebirth]

the thing is, i don't know what kinda patriot i got? i think i have value kind. Let me check...PSD5124003 is its MFG part number...are u sure that has 2 2 2 5 timings?

[darkrebirth]

also, would both be okay with an Athlon 64 3000+ venice?

also, would both be okay with an Athlon 64 3000+ venice?Yes

[huey]

expect 240+ out of the zx.

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?

[darkrebirth]

not yet, gonna pick em up like next weekish ^^

[Lat]

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
