DDR2 800 Ram equal to Buffalo Firestix

[Dolemite1]

Guys am looking to get ram that is the best quality at the price of the DDR2 800 firestix of $195 shipped.

Do these have Micron chips? Didn't see this version on the ram list
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227185

or what other ram do you guys think would be good for overclocking

Go to this thread on XtremeStystems and follow it religiously......


They constantly update it, sometimes several times a day, on what RAM has and doesn't have Micron chips on them. Seems that OCZ RAM you've linked to are not known to contain Micron IC's.

http://ramlist.ath.cx/ddr2/ has an OCZ FlexXLC but only in PC9200, for which it says it does use Micron D9's. No other FlexXLC model(s)listed for OCZ.

I'd tend to follow Xtremesystems first and foremost though ...

Okay, now I'm getting confused.... 😕

I'm no expert on this by any measure, but here is what I see from the links:

First, the link to the XtremeSystems thread does list what appears to be the same OCZ as I linked to above (under the quote for the discount on Firestix - 4th one down). A click on that link takes you to NewEggs page for the same ram as Frys is selling for $219.

Second, the 'ramlist' link shows 7 modules from OCZ that use some variety of D9's, including "PC8500 SLI-Ready Edition". As far as I can tell, since there is no model number listed, these are again the same ones as at Frys.

Third, this quote from the originator of the XtremeSystems thread (kemo6600): "All OCZ PC8000 and up uses Micron" - post #213

Please, tell me where I'm wrong... 😕

OP, I have confirmed with an owner of the linked OCZ PC8500 SLI that they are indeed D9's.
