2G of Redline, or 4G of OCZ Platinum?

[MalibuSS]

Choices...

 

I can't decide if I want to swap out my current 2Gigs of OCZ Platinum (In my sig) with 2Gigs of Mushkin Redline DDR500 to get off of the divider and maybe push a little further, or if I should get another set of OCZ's for 4Gigs and say goodbye to my 1T and overclock...

 

Any opinions?

 

This paired with a new 8800GTS 640 is meant to hold me over until I can Build a new Q6600 based PC (Probably around a year)

I just ordered 2gb's of dual channel redlines for my new build and they have micron D9 chips which are freakin' awesome. I got them right here now.

Pc6400 ddr2 4-4-3-10 right out of the box. And i hear they are VERY oc-able.

 

I had 2 set of ocz ram with infineon chips, and i hate infineon. I had all kinds of incompatibility problems with them. OCZ was very kind and even upgraded me from ddr400 to ddr500. I still couldn't get crap out of them. I would definatly go with the Mushkins. but that's just my opnion. Micron chips rock!

 

These paired with your 640mb you won't need 4 gigs of ram. I doubt there are any games now or in near future that will need more memory than 2gb system and 640 vram. And you can keep your 1T

 

By the way, you probably know this but your sig isn't showing up.

Thanks for the advice Jaz,

 

I see your point. I'm leaning towards the Redlines, but the Platinums are $50 cheaper as well. That along with me liking to multitask alot keeps me going back and forth...Damnit...I hate these choices...(okay I secretly love them but...)

 

Actually my sig disappeared after I made an edit...

 

Thanks for the heads up...

http://www.ncixus.com/ I paid $162 for my dual channel sticks. and i got them in 2 days. They're sitting right here now. Very fast shipping.

 

Edit; Correction-my ram isn't redlines. Those are the pc8000 series. mine are xp2-6400. Sorry. still very good stuff. i checked with asus mushkin and amd and my ram is compatible with all three. AND v card! Huh.
