Which ram sticks?

[kpmwrestler]

I've narrowed my choices down to either

Patriot Extreme Performance DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) (2x1gb)

or this company i haven't heard of before, Team Xtreem.

same type of ram, DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) (2x1gb)

the reviews on Newegg are excellent for Team Extreem ram and they all say that they are great for overclocking.



So which brand is better? More reliable? Better for overclocking?

get the one veedub mentioned only if you have a window on the side of your case
otherwise don't get the tracer model
ballistix are indeed the best bang for the buck ram sticks

 

[veedubfreak]

Heh the tracers are the same price as the regular ballistix. Unless you are dead set on going through newegg you can get the tracers cheaper at frys.com usually.

I was thinking more in the price range of $40-$50

The tracers are worth it, and they are ****ing sweet looking.

get these
Newegg.com - OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail

Woa, when did those come out. If i cant solve my 4 stick issue i might sell my tracers and pick up a set of those.
