steeldragonnyc Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 I was getting ready to purchase some new memory and I was set on getting the mushkin LII V2 3200 sticks but I see that a 1g 512X2 capacity is 241.00 and buying the stick seperately cost 102.00 each. Here is the stupid question. Does any body think there will be a differece getting the 2 sticks seperately @$102.00 each. Or should I get the dual chan Pack for 245.00? Dual chan pack or single Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stang8118 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 Get the duel pack. There's always the chance that 2 individual sticks won't run duel channel from being differant spd timings or differant memory chips all together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chieferich Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 i would go with the dual pack...most likely they are matched.  i just bought this ram 3 days ago. 199 plus 20 mail in rebate*free bag. check at newegg.com  179.99 and free shipping   *2 minutes pass...  ah...i see they just changed it....now 241 -20 rebate plus free notebook bag.  damn how their deals change overnight.....any idea why they do that? thats a big difference in price.

danny5 Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 I been doing some reading on memory. Actually, OCZ 3200 Platinum v2 would be a better choice. I read that that LVL 2 does not OC as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mucker Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 These are supposed to be very good TCCD too: http://www2.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp...N82E16820144332 Â Review here: http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.aspx?i=2174 Â The MUshkin is reviewed there also but the date of the review is old and when Mushkin wasn't using Brainpower PCB. The newer stuff does and should clock well. I was able to get in on the deal, but the Ultra-X looks great too and is on the DFI Ultra-D recommended list....

cronocrash Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Do they sell dual packs of 1gb sticks (2x1gb)? and how well would that o/c? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny5 Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Thanks for that input. I read the same review, and was not aware that Mushkin had revised the PCB. BTW, I think OCZ uses Brainpower too. Â Even then though, you do get OCZ support right on this forum, which may be a nice asset. Â I am going through the memory selection process too, it is tough.. Â Edit to Mucker post.. Â Opps I didnt see that, EXCELLENT price for TCCD. Â Thanks for posting that... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chieferich Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 "I was able to get in on the deal". Â yea, Rgone recommended them at the perfect time in another thread to me. otherwise i'd still be searching. i was not aware they used the brainpower pcb...cool. another thing to be happy about. sorry to hijack the thread. Â anyway, looking over older threads it IS always recommended to get the 2 sticks at the same time, for the reasons listed above.

RacerX27 Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Newegg has been crazy with their prices lately. Â OCZ Products have been good to me so far. Great support here too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
