GonzoDamon Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 It's crunch time. I need to choose the rest of my system so that my 15 day return policy doesn't lapse waiting for the other pieces. I know VERY LITTLE about performance RAM. So I need help. I need RAM that will be very stable, can be overclocked fairly well/easily, and will be accepted by my picky DFI SLi-DR Expert motherboard. HERE are some deals on performance RAM at NewEgg that I'm looking at: OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Platinum System Memory Model OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16820227210 CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model Twinx2048-3200c2pt http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16820145575 mushkin eXtreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 500 (PC 4000) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model 991483 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16820146397 mushkin High-Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered System Memory Model 991434 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16820146425 CORSAIR XMS 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit System Memory Model Twinx2048-3200c2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...N82E16820145574 Sorry for all the questions, but hey, we all have to start somewhere!

palehorse Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 i'd recommend the Gskill PC4000HZ over everything you have listed... 270-280mhz is the norm for these relatively cheap sticks, and some even hit 300+! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820231021 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowboy Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I second on the Gskills very good price and works well with dfi. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I'm using the mushkin extreme performance sticks you have listed and I'm quite impressed with them. They overclock pretty well, you should be able to get 270mhz at a minimum, I'm pretty sure I could hit 275-280 if I really tweaked them but I don't need that right now.

Guest FZ1 Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Those are all pretty good sticks. I agree with the GSkill suggestions (of course, I'm biased ). Check the memory link in my sig for some good RAM info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
