Yeah I totally agree. He knows more than me and thats why im here asking you guys.
I wasn't trying to go against Tim. My mother board only takes ddr 800 but can except 1066 via overclocking....
My understanding of what Tim said, was that the dominators would be able to overclock better and the xms2 wouldn't go as much past stock specs.
Because I wont be pushing past 1066 and my next m/b will most likely be ddr3, I thought the xms2 would be the better choice??
However if I planed to oc the ram further the dominator would be the better choice.
Have I understood that correctly?? doubting myself now.... lol
The other advantage is the xms 1066 is listed on msi's site as compatible with my board but they do not list the dominators.
Also I thought the xms2's were a performance not value ram??
My current xms2 (4*1gb ddr800) oc's quite well. Currently running at 868mhz 5-5-5-15.
