I'm not sure that there will be much benefit, but I figured I'd pick up another 4GB of memory for my system since it's pretty affordable right now. In my system I current have 2x2GB of A-Data Vitesta memory. I really am happy with this memory, it wasn't too expensive, my system has yet to crash since I've put it together with this memory, and it runs 4-4-4-12 timings which seems to be fairly decent timings at PC6400 speeds.
I'd like to get another 2 sticks of the same stuff, but it's deactivated at Newegg, and currently I don't see any for sale anywhere else (I see 5-5-5-15 at a place I've never heard of, don't want that). Last week someone was selling some used stuff on Ebay, I kind of wished I would have jumped on that, but oh well... so this brings me to this post.
Does anyone think there will be any issues if I bought some memory of a different brand so long as it has the same timings? I know I've mixed memory before without any issues, but I never payed attention to the timings back then either. I assume it'll work fine, but just would like some feed back before I pull the trigger.
I'm looking at this G.Skill memory. It is rated at the same timings at the same voltage, and is affordable. It looks like from the reviews that it doesn't overclock nearly as well as my current A-Data, but that's ok so long as it'll run at DDR800 speeds without an issue.
Here is all of the DDR2 800 memory that is rated for CAS4 on Newegg. If anyone thinks there is a better match, please post it. There is another set of G.Skill memory here that is rated at the same timings but less voltage. I run my memory at 2.1 volts, would that kill this memory, or just provide better overclocking at that voltage?
Sorry for the long post, any opinions are appreciated. I just don't want to buy memory just to find it has to run at a lower speed/timings then I have now, or lose stability, so just looking for a little feed back. Thanks for any opinions.
