2x 512 mb ram

[lawrenceku]

i am planning on buying 2x 512mb ram dual channel for my new system.

motherboard: asus a8n-sli deluxe

you guys have any recommendations?. please give me model numbers so i can look them up more easily! thanks.

well that's really hard to recommend unless we know what sort of chip you're getting... and if you want to run 1:1 with loose timings or divider with tighter timings...

chips like the 3000+... if it o/c's well, you will be forced run a divider unless you have good ram with samsung tccd modules which can do 300 mhz+ with low voltage and loose timings

chips like the 3500+ or 3800+... since they have a high mult (11 and 12 respectively) you won't necessarily need mem that can do high speeds... so mem winbond ch-5, bh-5, utt should be good enough for that which will also allow for tighter timings but require higher voltage....

in essence, we need a lot more info on your system...

is the corsair twinx1024-3200xl good? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145522

Why do you want pc3200 memory when you can get higher? What's your price range for a 2x512mb kit of ram?

 

[lawrenceku]

price range: 200 dollars at most

have to buy at a store like frys

 

[Ka12na]

Why can't you order from online? Usually online there are better bargains and deals. http://www.newegg.com/ is usually where it's at.
