Hello all. I've been reading a lot of the posts here and you guys seem to know everything about memory, and I'm a little stumped so I thought it couldn't hurt to join up and ask the crowd...
I've got a Q6600 on an Abit IP35 with a superclocked eVGA 8800GTS. All the rest of the components are ordered, except for the Ram. I need 4GB for Vista 64/XP Pro 64 dual boot (gaming/photoshop rig), and I'd like the ability to overclock if possible.
I've read tons of posts on here asking similar questions about the best 4GB (2x2GB) kit, but none of the threads seem to end in any concensus.
I've also heard that 2GB sticks don't OC very well, but it can't hurt to ask, right? Either way, I'm looking for the best set of DDR2 800, PC2 6400 2GB sticks that I can find right now.
I've looked at the following:
G.SKILL - 2 x 2GB 800MHz at 5-5-5-12 (F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ) - $234.99
Patriot eXtreme - 2 x 2GB 800MHz at 5-5-5-12 (PDC24G6400ELK) - $239.99
Mushkin - 2 x 2GB 800MHz at 5-4-4--12 (996564) - $309.00
Help is hugely appreciate...this is holding up my build! Thanks!
