RunLoganRun Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 I'm not sure how the prefix thing on this forum works, but I have a question about a couple different manufacturers. Most of the 1024 modules are out of stock everywhere. I did find two DDR 500 modules at NewEgg though. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820146034 (Mushkin Extreme Performance 2GB, DDR 500) and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820134123 (Kingston 2GB DDR 500) I was looking for Corsair TwinX2048-4000PT, but none to be had. Out of these two, which is best for overclocking, and most stable, and liked by DFI SLI Expert board? I'm putting together new parts for an upgrade.

CPDMF Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 The Mushkin would be a better bet. They aren't quite as good as the old Mushkin Redlines but still a great set that works well in the expert. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasr Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 From your list my preference would be the Mushkin. Check the for sale thread. Zeldor has some OCZ Platinum Edition XTC 2x1024 for sale. There pretty good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There pretty good. I checked that out, they are DDR400 though, kinda wanted 500. He's got some OCZ Gold DDR500 too. They're more than what they were retail on NewEgg though (before they ran out). Are one of these going to be better than the Mushkin? Noticed the timings were a little higher than what I'd want on the Gold 500, 3,4,4,8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tasr Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 It depends. Are these replacement RAM for your current rig? If so both the Mushkin and the OCZ Gold 500 should do just fine and handle your current overclock. You’ll definitely need to set the timings. DDR500 will have a advantage over DDR400, but if you are just upgrading your RAM the DDR400 should be fine. I would go with DDR500 if any future upgrades are planned. Say Opty 165 or such. Remember CPU is king in the A64 world. Having real tight timings is not much of a priority in my opinion. You can trust Zeldor, he is a good guy.

RunLoganRun Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 Yes, def getting dual Opti, the 175's are pretty cheap right now (cheaper than memory), and getting new psu, OCZ720evostream (or GXS700 not sure), and a DFI Expert SLI. Not all at once, unfortunately. Will get memory next prob, because I can use it now, and with upgrades. So, I am buying the memory to suit my future needs. Thanks!
