2 gig Kit .. what would you choose?

[GoodOmens]

As the title suggests I am in the market for a 2 gig memory kit. I have not followed the latest and greatest in the past few months so I am a little out of touch.

 

What memory kit would you suggest for my rig? The only planned upgrade would be a eventual dual core. As of now my rig is stock and will probably stay stock (however I would like the ability to OC).

 

Currently I am leaning towards the OCZ gold kit. Any other suggestions before I head to the store?

Recent consensus seems to be: If the G.Skill 2x1GB HZ kit is in get that one. Otherwise the OCZ GX XTC.

Thanks thats just what I needed.

 

Just to double check I assume you mean this G.Skill kit:

ballistix is ma first choice

 

but anyways, like the ppl ^^ me said

 

OCZ GX XTC PC4000 2x1gb Kit

GSKILL HZ series PC4000 2x1gb Kit (pictured w/ black heatspreaders)

Mushkin PC4000 from the egg (also w/ black heatspreaders)

Currently I am leaning towards the OCZ gold kit

 

can't go wrong with this, as well as there being 2 OCZ reps in this forum

 

and as good as the other memory modules might be, I don't see any of their reps in this forum

 

ps: Gskill, OCZ, Mushkin, Corsair all use Samsung UCCC's on their 3-4-8-4 stuff, and Infineon on their 3-3-7-2 stuff...meaning they all make the same modules, so you have to go on price + support...and no one has support like OCZ

I'm deciding which to buy also.... If i'm not going to be overclocking the second one with tighter timming is the better choice, is this correct?

get the pc4000, cheaper! :nod:

[Angry_Games]

get the PC4000

 

you will want to overclock lol

 

99.4% of all that come in saying "I really don't want to overclock" end up overclocking at least a little

 

you've got a 4400+ like me (check both my rigs in my sig)

 

the 4800+ is what...almost twice as expensive?

 

the 4400+ will easily overclock 200Mhz to get to 4800+'s speeds

 

myself, one of mine is at 2400Mhz, and the other is 2500Mhz

 

both of mine will easily do 2750Mhz, but I find that to be overkill, and of course that ends up lowering the lifespan of the cpu by quite a bit more than a 200 or 300Mhz

 

but

 

the PC4000 is the best choice

 

timings and dividers and CPC 1T or 2T etc...don't make a bit of difference honestly...unless you are absolutely anal retentive (and there are some that are!)

yup theres no point in pc4000 ram unless your going to be doing a little ocing..

 

timings dont mean as much as b4 in a64 systems..
