flashystylez Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Hey all, I was just wondering on what ram to get for this type of setup: Amd A64 3200 venice or A64 3500 venice (still undecided!) DFI Lanparty NF4 SLI-DR Geforce 7800 GTX Antec 550 True Control PSU I dont know all about the TCCD ram.. Its a blank slate to me, and I was wondering what is the best to get. I heard that Samsung chips are good, but Im not sure. I want to overclock to the limit of whatever processor that I do in fact get. I dont want to be held back by ram, I want the cpu to max out, lol. What do you experts reccommend? This is my first A64 setup, and I dont want to make the wrong purchase. Thanks in advance. Would any of you know if the 3500 sandiego would clock better than the above 2 processors that I mentioned? Giving it has the 1Mb cache?? I read some reviews on it, and it seems they can hit 2.7 with ease on air... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 With that board you have a broad range of memory you could get.... Gskill PC4800LA or other branded TCCD/BrainPower ram or OCZ VX or Mushkin Redline. With the kind of volts the DFI board can supply you may want to consider the VX or Redline as they both like volts lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugbug3311 Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 I would get the 3700+ SD, Its supposed to be the best bang for your buck! I ordered mine off of zipzoomfly.com yesterday!!!! Now I have just have to buy the rest of the parts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, do you think I should go with a 4800 or 4400 instead of 3200 ram?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
martymcfly Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 VX isnt tccd, and manufacturers generally fdont mention the term TCCD much, you kinda jsut have to know. Look for 2-2-2-5 timings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerm Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 Exactly! OCZ VX ram isn't TCCD. flashystylz if you read my post you will see that I seperated Gskill and all other TCCD manufacturers from the VX and Redline ram I mentioned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Raven65 Posted July 1, 2005 Posted July 1, 2005 One more time guys. Get the Mushkin Redline, You won't be sorry. :thumbs-up: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashystylez Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 One more time guys. Get the Mushkin Redline, You won't be sorry. :thumbs-up: 501637[/snapback] sorry Nerm, I must have misread your post there. I looked at the Mushkin Redline, and it looks good with tight timings. Between the Mushkin and the Gskill, which would be a better one to get for pushing the max out of this setup?

Nagash Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 (edited) You can get the Mushkin Redline into the 270's FSB with 2-2-2-5 timings. Show me some g.skill doing that. Edited July 2, 2005 by Nagash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewlboxer2 Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 ..ya i can hit 275 @ 2.5-3-3-7, at only 2.8 volts. seeing how my neo2 only puts out a max of 2.85 volts, there would be no way a neo2 could run that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
