Thinking of getting this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820227030

I need YOU GUYS to decided which RAM to get, I have NO IDEA what I'm doing.

Also, anything I should keep in mind while putting this together?

If you have $$$ to spend then get this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145035), it's the fastest RAM on the planet.

If you want something cheaper then you can't go wrong with these (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146108)!

Get this set of Gold, i think they are fixed for AM2.

should of waited until conroe, honestly, right now and the next 2 weeks is not a time to be buying things with massive price drops around the corner.

[twoeyes]

O RlY? well something else is always around the corner but you're probably right, these next few months we're seeing some changes that you only see every 3-4 years (normally at the end of a windows cycle)

[Prtssguy]

im waiting awhile to upgrade to the more expensive am2. there will be no "massive" price cut on the cheaper am2, mostlikey a few bucks. anyone else have an idea for ram?

[Prtssguy]

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145590 anyone?

[pcmaker401]

its a good choice...most motherboards won't have a problem with that memory, but to get every ounce of performance out of your pc, look for tighter timings like 4-4-4-12 (or you could do it yourself). and since its a single core you can go under 800 to 667...but you're probably ocing it right? :D


I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but EPP might also help (but its way more money)

[jamesgig]

will this (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820145034) work--i am not sure myself?

[Prtssguy]

omfg too late now! wish i saw that earlier.
i put the pc together, now im waiting on the ram. just ordered it today, it will ship monday be here by tues/wends (always is). putting it together was easy, can i test if anything is doa without ram?

[jamesgig]

i do not think so, but have never built a pc before

@Jacobman

I would stay away from those gold modules because of the 5-5-5-12

I would rather go with this(only $4 more) 4-5-4-15
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227089

the mushkin(but a little expensive) 4-3-4-10
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820146108

or the patriot 4-4-4-12
