Nerm Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 For A64's I recommend something with TCCD and prainpower PCB like the Gskill PC4400 LE or Gskill PC4800 LE or LA revision. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo-Kramer Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Nerm: that sounds good but i dont have alot of money So what do u suggest for someone on a budget? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 What is your budget? $200, $150, $100???? and are you wanting 2x512, 2x256, etc? This is the memory I have and it does 290mhz @ 2.5-3-3-7, 1T without breaking a sweat lol. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820231005 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overclockersdream Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820144114 A pair of Kingston Hyper X 1 gb---> $160.00 or you can get 2 sticks of 256mb ddr 500(pc4000) crucial ballistix for under $115 dollars, and they overclock like animals at 2.6 volts. (which leaves alot of room for more OC) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820146548 Or you can get the Pc3200 Version and save your self about $20.00 an Oc them to DDR500... I had the ram at 2.5-2-2-5 250 MHz@ 2.7 Volts http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820145070 **Remember two sticks of 256 Mb is better than one stick of 512 MB, because two sticks allow you to use dual channel (meaning you use the bandwith of both sticks), a 512 MB you only have one bandwith... In short always buy in matching Pairs for maximum performance. Edited June 1, 2005 by Overclockersdream Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vampire Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 I would buy one stick of 512mb, so in the future you can upgrade to 1GB (2 x 512mb) ram easily. I first got 2 x 256mb ram for dual channel but it came back to kick me in the nuts when I wanted 1GB, so I sold it and bought 2 x 512mb corsair. So the lesson learned: Buy a single 512mb stick for easy future upgradability. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo-Kramer Posted June 2, 2005 Posted June 2, 2005 (edited) How does this ram look: CORSAIR XMS 512MB TWINX-3200 (400MHz) DDR CAS2 RAM http://www.scorptec.com.au/index.php?prdid=00005697 or GeIL GE1GB3200BHDC Value Dual Channel PC3200 400MHz DDR 1 Gig Kit (2 x512mb) http://www.scorptec.com.au/index.php?prdid=00013995 any good?
