i have a gigabyte 45ud3l mobo 4gb ballistix mem c2d e8400 3.0 .im fixin to build another machin w/ the same board w/ pentium dualcore 3.0 800fsb from an upgrade. ive read that pc 8500 is just overclocked pc6400 . im going to be using one of the pcs for home entertainment rig w7 home premium and hauppauge 1800 tv card what memory should i buy pc6400 or pc 8500 ? i was lookin at ocz reaper 8500 2x2gb what do you suggesst?:confused:
 
Me personally I wouldn't get the pc 8500 unless it was the same price (or only a couple $$ different). I've run my RAM at 800 with 4-4-4-12 and 5-5-5-15 timings and at 1000 5-5-5-15 timings and honestly I could never tell the difference in daily usage.
 
thanks for the info !!!!!!!! ive noticed the 6400 isnt that much cheaper what do you think about the ocz reaper 8500 2x2 gb
