1gig dual RAM Recommendations

[Him]

Who says the RAM is going to be towards Performance?

People may be considering buying new RAM but don't want the "expensive stuff" un-yet still highly efficent and somewhat still a performance stick.

And thats where I come in.

Qualitity and Performance at a cheap price.

Man, you are a hustler.

Zipzoomfly is great. I'ver order so much stuff from them, I was ordering stuff from them when they were still GoogleGear.com and I have never had a problem with them.

ApM you need to shrink that sig. 15 lines of size 1 text and you have 20 lines of regular text. Too big

That won't get you high performance gaming and high quality OC'ing RAM dude. You need $200+US for that.

However there is one exceptiong to that:

Can't get there here in the UK, checked three of the top sites.


But is Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x512MB) decent gaming RAM?

And how much Mhz will my MOTHERBOARD surport? Higher Mhz better the ram, yeah?

 

[diabloII]

as long as your board supports ddr400 it's fine (and yes,, your board does support ddr400)

I was confussed with the DDR400+ so that kinda mean I can go over 400Mhz?

I've seen this RAM: Kingmax Hardcore what I've read alot of good things about but don't know if it'll work on my motherboard, it's 500mhz.

Hardcore

BUMP

The overall speed of the RAM is 400MHz, but in the BIOS it'd be listed as 200 because of 200x2 = 400 due to DOUBLE data rate (DDR)

You can run RAM that's DDR500, but it won't simply plug and play like that. You'll have to manuall go in there and adjust your CPU FSB or HTT if you have an AMD64 to get up to that speed the RAM is capable of, otherwise when you first plug it in, it'll simply underclock.

You don't need high performance RAM like Corsair XMS unless you plan on overclocking it, if you aren't going to OC valueRAM will save you cash and not hurt performance.

OCZ Platinum Rev2
G.Skill LA
Patriot XBL
PQI Turbos

All those IMO are better than corsair in terms of overclocking, but of course they also come with a pretty penny price tag

Is this stuff really that good? It had only a few reviews but people were hitting 230-260 and thats pretty damn good for a brand I've never heard of...
