Ram?

[noobzor]

What's good RAM? I was thinking this because it's cheap and comes with heatshields.

No name... buy at your own risk.

Look at OCZ, G.Skill, Corsair, Kingston, Patriot, GeIL... names that are know and trusted.

Save a little going in... and have to shell it out later when it dies on you.

Not sure how reliable a-data is...

Is this RAM good enough to use? Lifetime warranty...

It has good reviews, though a data is considered by some to be buggy dual channeling. Up to you.


But out of the two, go with that corsair value-select you just linked. General consensus for that is good

corsair value select, decent brand,reliable and cheap. As long as your not overclocking it`ll work fine.

If, later, I wanted to upgrade my RAM to 2G could I just buy another 2 sticks of 512 or do I HAVE to have twin sticks of 1G? (expensive =/ )

 

[baronvongogo]

I think if you have 1 gig of ram and put 2 512`s in you lose the dual channeling, so either go for 2 sticks of 1 gigs or go for 4 sticks of 512 which is what I did for my pc and it turned out cheaper.

I think if you use four sticks it will no longer run in dual channel... But im not sure since my system can't use Dual Channel and I don't bother with it any....
