Occ Ram OCZ or G.E.I.L.

12th January 2006, 14:58

I'm looking for some new ram.

Low latency and good clocking.

G-Skill F1-3200BWU2-1GBGH 2X512MB UTT Winbond

Or

OCZ EL PC-3500 Gold GX 2X512MB 2-2-2-5

Or others?

any PC3200 which can run tight timings will do; you don't gain anyperformance in games and other applications when setting the memory speed higher than PC3200

max performance increase is in the 2-5% regio

What exactly do you want to do?

Just bench or actually play games and work with it?

Because, low latency memory is only good for benching now. For gaming, 2x1 GB would help for some games.

2GB would help for ONE game. Not worth the extra cost.

F.E.A.R. I thought.

I want to keep my BH5 for benching but for 24/7 i want some other ram.

And i don't know what too take.

High Speed ram or Low Latency ram?

T'is for my Opteron rig. 9x 323HTT

Mem dividers: /11 (263Mhz) or /14 (207Mhz)

If i take multi 8x 363HTT

Mem dividers are: /10 (290Mhz) or /12 (241Mz)

1gig bh5 240mhz 2.5-2-2-7 = 20-40 fps
2gig crucial 235 3-3-3-7 = 30-70 fps
went from barely playable to very playable for me

still not best bang for buck, which I like to encourage people to get

I've learned it all, the hard way

SDR PC150 Mushkin 256Mb at €150; used in server at stock speeds for years. biggest waste of money ever

Yea, 2 gig ram helps 2 games allright
you can run 2 games at once, and alt-tab them.

"why did you spend extra money to get 2Gb of ram?"

"because I'm too lazy to close my programs"

What is the difference between:

OCZ EL PC-3500 Gold GX 2X512MB 2-2-2-5

And

OCZ PC-3500 EL Gold GX XTC 2X512MB 2-2-2-5 2,8V

edit: And which would you take.

One of above or this one

G-Skill F1-3200BWU2-1GBGH 2X512MB UTT Winbond

Or Other?

But if you're dealin' with Adobe Photoshop,or similar prog.(or managing some video materials),you'll notice significant difference of 1GB vs. 2GB RAM.
And about Supertalent PC3200 CL2 1GB modules?Cheap,low voltage demands(2,65V at DDR400 i think),metal heat spreader included...
