Core 2 Duo Overclocking Ram Question

[mawsoccer]

Corsair (2x1GB) XMS 2 Dominator TWIN2X2048-6400C4D 4-4-4-12 - Zipzoomfly - $273

OR

Crucial (2x1GB) Ballistix BL2KIT12864AA804 4-4-4-12 - Zipzoomfly - $240

OR

Your Choice?

I want the best overclocking ram for an E6600.

Please give feedback today, a $40 rebate on both expires today.

Either will do just fine. They both use exactly the same IC's, although Corsair bins the IC's that they use in their Dominator RAM, I hear. But, since your processor has a 9x multiplier, you'd be at 3.6 Ghz, without overclocking the RAM any at all. I'd just get the Ballistix, since it's cheaper.

Now I have narrowed it to these two. Which pair should I get?

Get the Crucial.

Both of the ones I have narrowed it down to are Crucial

ah, one is 8000 other is 6400

price difference isn't too large. i'd go for the pc8000.

i have the 6400 and i am very satisfied with them. i bought them when they were $180 after rebate!

I'd get the ddr2 1000mhz! Faster RAM and a better for future upgrades! ( I also have the DDR2 800mhz)

Is zipzoomfly really a bad place to buy anything from, especially things with mail in rebates?

 

[orion23]

Zipzoomfly is a great place, they just suck when it comes to returns / customer service.

How about rebates?
