advice on DDR2 please Hi, since I'm quite ignorant about the latest development on the market about DDR2 (amongst many other things) could you give me some advice on which brand would you choose according to theese criteria: - good price/performance: I'm not necessarily interested in the lowest price, of course if it's good cheap and fast even better :D; - reliability; - performant enough to allow low/mid overclocking - 2x1 GB. Thanx for your wisdom/knowledge/patience Lino |

ooops, I should have looked in the articles before...:nutkick::whip: sorry and thanx! Lino |
gulp, now I'll have to find a primer on memory technology, when they started with "4-4-4-12" or "CAS5", they left me in the dust...:D I'm leaning toward Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC6400 4-4-4-12 2*1GB at 116 euros (in Paris)... |
good enough for sure:) |
But take also a look at this if you're going Core. |
missing text/link? ;) |
any opinions about Gskill? I only know by reputation OCZ, Crucial, Corsair, Mushkin but on french forums I often see the Gskill brand that seems good (?) and not expensive... |

In the past I've used Adata almost exclusively cuz it's nice and cheap and i've never had errors with it, tried a dual channel kit of corsair ram one time and it had errors out of the package with memtest so i sent it back. In short Gskill is a good brand for the money and nice timings, I'd go with that. |
I have a pair of el cheapo G.Skill F2-6400CDL5D-2GBNQ; it does 910 @5-5-5-15 and upto 417 @4-4-4-12 with very little increase from 1.8v default. |
thanx to all for the advice: in the end I stuck to Crucial Ballistix PC6400 even if significantly more expensive (50% more in Paris): reading around forums/comments, I got the impression that Gskill o Geil are very good price/performance even if not the fastest WHEN functional but that their QC was so so (much better anyway than playing russian roulette with unmatched noname RAM, but could be better). |
