How much of a difference does generic vs. namebrand memory make? I (regretingly) was sold on some generic memory by one sales rep. The next day I call back and another sales rep tells me that having namebrand memory makes all the OCing difference in the world.
Right now I have some generic (Melco I think) PC3200 RAM. My OCing has plateued at 2.45Ghz on my Venice 3200+. CPU-z says my memory is OCed @ 204.2Mhz. My divider is at 166 Mhz. Chaning the divider to 133Mhz does not affect Prime95's outcome, nor does increasing voltage to my RAM at 133Mhz or 166Mhz.
Could generic RAM be the cause of my frustration? If it is my mobo or PSU or CPU instead, the question still remains.. does namebrand memory make all the difference in the world for OCing?
