If you're going to go through all that trouble...at least buy better RAM.

If you're going to go through all that trouble...at least buy better RAM.

What dam ram is better than that.
That ram is one of the best in the world and made by a well known company.

It uses Samsungs TCCD chips which are one of the best memory types you can get out there along side bh5.

That ram can do 275Mhz with 222 timings.
Now what dam ram can you get better than that.

Dam Moja that system will be one of the best in the world im going to get the almost exact same thing as you.
If you donÂ’t mind me asking what are you going to do with it.
Gaming or benching.

post your bench tests here that would have to be the ultimate pc

i would recommend

Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200C2 Pro TwinX (2x512MB) CAS2

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Corsair_XMS.html

im gettin my 2nd stick of it very soon to replace my rubbish generic oem c**p

 

[ShoobieRat]

Well, in the same speed category you could go with some:

Patriot PDC1G3200+XBLK at $219.50
or
Mushkin Hi Perf LII V2 991357 at $233.00

Or if you want to move up a notch:

Crucial 512MB DDR PC3200 2-2-2-6 BL6464Z402 at $123 a stick, nice little bump there...

And of course, the higher you pay, the lower the latencies go.

The Crucials and the Patriots I've mentioned can be OC'd like crack-enduced lizards. Not to mention that what I've mentioned won't cost you as much, so you could plug in some more.

The comps just for gaming, but i think the build is sound. I just decided i have never actually made a computer specifically for my needs, so what the heck!

Dam Moja that system will be one of the best in the world im going to get the almost exact same thing as you.
