What RAM Kit should I choose?
 

Hi Guys,

First of all merry X-mas to you all and a happy new year.
Now in regards to my question I wanted to ask u all, what would be the best kit for me to buy at the moment. I am choosing between three 2GB kits:

1) OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Special Ops Edition Urban Elite 4-4-3-15
2) OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 / 800MHz / ATI CrossFire™ Certified Edition 4-4-4-15
3) Team Group 2Gb DDR2 PC2-6400 Xtreem Series Micron 4-4-4-10

Thank you in advance for yr help.

Ones with Micron ships of course.

G.Skill F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ kit would also be also with Micron chips (D9GMH) if that kits is available.

it depends pretty much on what you want to do with your PC? what your current PC is? and how much money you think to spend

Basically, at the moment I am building a badass Media Centre....with intent of having a versatile intel quad platform, that at any moment I could overclock (for gaming). I am willing to spend around 300 EUR on a memory Kit.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards

timings on DDR2 seem to be more worth than pure speed, so sticks with low timings are preferred, CAS 3 or CAS 4, the higher the max. speed rating, the more overhead you have for 1:1 overclocking, although the difference versus async in performance is not very big;

get the cheapest OC sticks and you'll be find, by combining tight timings, async cpu:mem ratios, you can overclock the FSB quite a bit, without worrying about memory holding you back

corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4
 

hello,
why dont you advise this memory:TWIN2X2048-6400C4
I got this and it is fast
It does 1000mhz@4-4-4-12 and it isnt very expensive, i bought it for €270 and i think this is a good price for this ram, isnt it?
And it does 800mhz@4-3-3-2 timings
grrtz

timings don't warrant the price tag tough

speed matters for overclocking 1:1

i got the OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 / 800MHz / ATI CrossFire™ Certified Edition 4-4-4-15 (but only because i could get it at a discount price, what they ask for it is pretty insane).
i'll let you know how it works out once i've had time to test it.

works perfect 1:1
 

hi,
my corsair ram works perfect 1:1 i can get it up to 1100mhz@5-5-5-15 timings i think this is very good for the price and it is nice to have sli ready memory on a nvidia board

ram voltage
 

hi,
I got a question, maybe a stupid question. I cant find anything about the warranty voltage of my corsair TWIN2X-6400C4 sticks. They say at the site that it is tested at 2.1v, but does this say that the max warrantied voltage is 2,1? What is a good 24/7 voltage. Is 2.3v to high for 24/7?
Thx
