Crucial Ballistix vs Patriot TCCD RAM

[KoolDrew]

What exactly would be best for overclocking? They are both the same price but I have heard good things about the Crucial and I have heard good things about RAM with TCCD chips.

they are both basically the same thing. you'll have a great oc with either of them. 🙂

Ok, thanks

Google for reviews and see ocforums. I considered 'em both too and after mucho research went with Patriot.

 

[KoolDrew]

What exactly made you pick Patriot?

Micron chips love A64 CPUs. I'd go with Ballistix if you're going with an A64 platform.

Either way it won't make too much difference:

The Patriot XBL should be about the same as the G. Skill and PQI.

Ballistix is a little behind, but not much.

Samsung chips seems to have a slight edge over Micron (don't know aboot the A64 thang) and Patriot were the cheapest made with TCCD IC's and BrainPower PCB's (the latest revision as well), plus unlike others they publish complete specs with timings for each frequency from 400 to 533 so there is no hoping or guessing.

For AMD 64: If you have the via chipset get Ballistix, if you have nvidia get TCCD.
