I can not decide which is best. I'm concerned specifically with gaming performance only with this ram decision.
1) Crucial Ballistics PC4000 (3/4/4/8)http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146578
2) OCZ Platinum EB PC4000 (3/3/2/8) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227225
I don't know how to fiddle to much with timings and rather just 'plug n play'.
My FSB runs great with Corsair valueram currently at 255 (ram at 213 stock timings). However, I have got my FSB stable at 266 and even up to 272 but my dividers are easier at 255. I have no idea if better ram will make the FSB go higher.
System:
3800 X2 (on order, currently using 3500)
Abit AV8 (K8T800 chipset)
4x512 Corsair Valueram 2.5/3/3/8
PNY 6800GT
2x250g DiamondMax 10 Sata(raid0)
I've contact OCZ about using this on the AV8 and they said it is "Completly Comapatible with the Abit AV8"
However, I have read from another forum someone claiming that my board is picky and is has absolutely no problem with TCCD or TCC5 ram chips. I don't know how true this statement actually is though.
