alexb75 Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Gonna buy some 2*256 dual ram for my Asus A7N8X on Barton2500+, what's the best from this list? I shopped around some more and here's what I can find for around the same price, tell me which one's the best: 1. CORSAIR TWIN-X Dual Channel Kit Platinum Edition PC3200 Model: TWINX512-3200C2PT 2. CORSAIR TWIN-X Dual Channel Kit PC3200 512MB Model: TWINX512-3200C2 3. KINGSTON HyperX Dual Kit PC3200 512MB Model: KHX3200K2/512 or KHX3200AK2/512 (luck of the draw) 4. KINGSTON HyperX Dual Kit PC3000 512MB DDR Ram Model: KHX3000K2/512 (definately KHX3000K2/512) 5. OCZ Dual Channel Series PC2700 EL 512MB with Copper Heat Spreader Model: OCZ333512ELDC-K 6. GEIL ULTRA DUAL CHANNEL 2X256MB PC3200 DDR 2-6-3-3 1T Part #: GL5123200DC 7. GEIL GOLDEN DRAGON DUAL CHANNEL PC3200 DDR 2-6-3-3 1T Part #: GD3200-512DC 8. OCZ Dual Channel Series PC3200 EL 512MB with Copper Heat Spreader Model: OCZ400512ELDC-K ($20 more than others) Please suggest from the list above. These are the ones (apart from the last) that I can afford. I am looking for PC3200, but since some PC2700 or PC3000 seem to OC even better I added them also.

alexb75 Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 Corsair memory should o/c very well. Which one of the two? They're priced the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilkev715 Posted December 6, 2003 Posted December 6, 2003 I would either go with the corsair 3200 or the kingston hyper X 3200. The kingston is usually a bit cheaper by a few dollars and performs just as well as the corsair. But both are good choices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's for sure bh-5, but the HyperX PC3200 "could be" ch-5 since the new batches are not that good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Try to get the BH-5 chips if you can. Not to crazy about the C2 series of corsairs as compared to the LL's. Out of your list- I would get #8 OCZ's. Look into Mushkin Level 2 3200's they use BH-5 chips and can overclock very well. www.mushkin.com-but might be out of your price range but then again might not- Sometimes newegg.com has sales on mushkins. The 3500DDR's are now considered the top of it class along with OCZ EL DDR Platinum series. As for Geils check out this review: http://www.overclockers.co.nz/ocnz/review....us0ddrguid20107 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM53 Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 Go with either Mushkin 3500 Level II or the OCZ 3500 Platinum Limited Edition in a 2 x 512 configuration. They both have the BH-5 chips, tight settings and kick some major hind end. Check out some of the other sites and remember, you get what you pay for.

AYoKoNA Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 U know why they didn't put the Mushkin Level II in that review (it beats the OCZ | ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
syneze Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 What about HyperX PC3000? It's for sure bh-5, but the HyperX PC3200 "could be" ch-5 since the new batches are not that good! nah Kingston PC3000 hasnt' been bh-5's for a long while. U know why they didn't put the Mushkin Level II in that review (it beats the OCZ | ) Or maybe because they were testing PC4000 modules and not PC3500... If you want to run a high FSB with a divider get the OCZ Copper. If you want to run a lower FSB with 1:1 and tight timings go with the already mentioned Mushkin lvl 2 or OCZ Platinum EL.

alexb75 Posted December 15, 2003 Posted December 15, 2003 The list is down to these in order of price (cheapest to most expensive) : 1. OCZ Dual Channel Series PC3200 EL (Copper) 2-2-3-6 2. Kingston HyperX PC3200 2-2-2-6 3. CORSAIR TWIN-X PC3200 (TWINX512-3200C2) 2-3-3-6 4. OCZ Dual Channel Platinum PC3200 2-2-3-5 5. CORSAIR TWIN-X PC3200 Low Latency (TWINX512-3200LL) 2-3-2-6 The difference between cheapest and most expensive is around 60$. I am on a tight budget and wanna get something that can be at tightest timings at around 210 MHz without voltage mod. Is there "REALLY" a big difference between these? Is there a difference between OCZ Copper Enhanced Latency and Platinum? What about CORSAIR low-latency and the regular one? The timing difference between them is quite negligible. Do they all use bh-5? Thnx a lot guys! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
