MadMan Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Ok tonight I want to order memory for my system I am looking at a 2 gig set. I am looking at G.Skill. It will be my first time dealing with G.Skill but am yet to hear anything bad about them...So I am looking on Newegg and I came across these 2 different sets of ram but they are the same except price (from my eyes). Set 1: $199 G.Skill 2x1gb Set 2: $245 G.Skill 2x1gb So can anyone tell me any differences...is there any reason to pay $46 more for set 2??

cchalogamer Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Second set shows lower voltage, so They may be diff chips under the spreaders. I personally have the cheaper set (which were cheaper than that when i bought them...) And have no problems at all running at and above DDR 500 spec with 2.5-3-3-7 and 2.7V (i upped the voltage while running stock timings and never lowered it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgnatewv2 Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 I also just purchased the cheaper set about 2 weeks or so ago and I love em'! Get them you will not be disappointed! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Raven65 Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 the more expensive one has the new pcb technology. I think it's called brainpower or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_target Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 The HX will probably OC a little better. The G.Skill rep at Xtreme Systems has not been very forthcoming about which chips are being used for ZX and HX. I would guess they are both on BP PCB but I don't really know for sure. There are long OC threads at XS for G.Skill ZX. HX, and HZ 2x1 GB kits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMan Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 Well the biggest OC I am looking for will be for these to be able to run 500mhz so basically just stick with the cheaper ones then I guess...that would be 3.2 up to 4.0 Good enough for me!
