The MEMORY LIST

Which one in this list is the best for the price? Anything around or less than $300.00
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductList.jsp?ThirdCategoryCode=011116&SortBy=D

I'm considering the Mushkin (http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=83433-3)

I want to upgrade my kingston value ram (http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80098-50) to a set where I can get my OC higher. See below for specs. DANKE!

This would be your best bet.

how you figure that? My mobo only handles ddr400 pc3200...?

avalanche83 · Sep 3, 2005

It is rated for that at stock. When you overclock you go well beyond pc3200 unless you use dividers. If you are wanting overclocking ram you should either look at getting ram with really tight timings and lower bandwidth or ram that has really high bandwidth and loose timings.

The ram I have suggested does really well on bandwidth with considerably tight timings.

Try this has good reviews and less$$.
Also you might want to try a pair of this . According to reviews it will run in dual channel and one reviewr has OC to 540 3-3-2-5 w/ a pair. also says for overclocking on the label according to the reviewer. Less $$ too.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146545 that will outclock everything but ballistix. 240-250 3-3-3 for 110 a gig, good deal to me. if you wanna oc like no ones business, then 2x1gig of ballistix is what you want. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146549 just get two of those, dont wait for the 2x1gig combo to come back.

go with the crucial ballistix sticks mentioned above..... by far the best 2Gig set you can buy right now.

G.Skill RAM gets the best speeds IMO
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231015
it's 2x512MB, and guaranteed to get DDR600 (300MHZ) at 2.5-4-4-8

G.Skill doesn't have 1GB sticks, so the only option of getting 2GB G.Skill is with 4x512MB. I haven't seen how high 4 DDR sticks can go, but I know the Revision E Athlon 64's do support 4 sticks now.

although, currently games aren't using more than 1GB yet. maybe in a year or 2 they will, but I would recommend just the 1GB for now, and maybe get another 1GB later (or replace both sticks with 2x1GB)

BF2 is already needing 2gigs of ram, getting 1gig isnt really a good thing any more, its not worth the money. especially when you can get 2gigs of ram cheaper then 1gig.

dpgthing · Sep 4, 2005

i'm getting the crucial ballistix 2x1GB because i've only heard good things and recommended by almost every overclocker. thanks for the tips.
