Good bye AMD.. hello Intel?

[Peter.Cort]

tracers have led's on them. and the two mobo's you selected are the same

i plan on this mobo, but the ds3l is a quality board, just not as hefty on the ocing features. Newegg.com - DFI LANPARTY DK P35-T2RS LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

Your welcome. The information I provided you is probably your best bet for performance vs price.

Happy computing!!

the two mobo's you selected are the same

No they weren't... the DS3P has 2 PCI-Express ports, while the DS3R has only 1.

 

[Peter.Cort]

oh i thought they were both ds3r's. my b! and i meant like same link, not that the two boards are the same.

 

[carnageX]

Oh, haha, ok.

thanks for trying StealthTools but im lookin for someone w/ a little more knowledge base that can provide me w/ solid reasons for helping me choose what I get

he was right...

I have the tracers you posted and they work fine, ~850 MHZ @ 4-4-4-12

LEDS light up beautifully, especially when under load

the regular ballistix are 30 bucks with the MIR though... just get that

Ok I plan on running a max of 4G, would 2x 2G be better or worse than 4x 1G?

which would handle OCing better?

 

[commandercup]

I'd say its relatively similar, probably no noticable difference at all... ask for a second opinion though

I'd definitely say 2x2 would be better because of less heat (4 sticks generate more heat then 2 does) although if you go with tracers, 4 sticks = 4x the leds

 

[Invisible]

i would get tracers if your case has a window
otherwise i'd just get a regular pair of ballistix
also i didn't get a MIR with mine :/

 

[almightyobo]

haha, well with my current case I cant see inside, but Im thinking of getting a new full tower case when I upgrade, but I have to look more and find one i like


so 2x 2G of Crucial Ballistix would be my best bet?
