Help: what ram to buy

agent #2 · 29th August 2004, 09:54

Ok I want to buy 1 gig ram. I have some Idea's but also some doubts.

The ram supposed to be good for later A64 upgrade but has to work fine on my P4 now to.

I was thinking to buy 2x512 OCZ EB pc 3700. Or should I take pc 3500 or 3200?
Or should I take those new corsair pro's?

PC3700EB is best buy for now.
new corsairs aren't that good for high fsb and low timings.

Like gamer said those EB 3700's

or, you could try those new 2-2-2-5 sticks but I haven't seen any forum posts or reviews yet where they give some descent volts to these sticks so perhaps they will be able to keep their tight timings and gain some speed when in the 3.3 V range ....

Where do I find those? They don't seem to be very good available.

PQI is mostly US for the moment afaik, better look for alternatives in .BE, get some low latency PC3200 ram from Corsair/OCZ/Kingston/Geil/Mushkin/Crucial .. any of those will provide your P4 and A64 with enough bandwidth
