Hi folks,
I've scrubbed through this and some other forums for some answers, but couldn't find the answer I'm looking for.
Let me start out by saying that I am a ship-jumper as my current rig (which was my first build) is an amd one. Here are the specs:
Palomino 1600
Gigabyte 7DXR (amd 761 chipset)
2x256 pc2400 ddr
2 seagate barracuda iv's as single drives (they suck in raid 0)
Asus Geforce 3
I built this rig about 2 years ago and I'd like to build anew. I have been eyeing up and researching the following components for my new rig:
2.4c
P4P800 Deluxe
2x80 gig WD SE's to put in raid 0 on the VIA/Highpoint controller
ATI 9800 pro
Now here's my dilemma.....I am not sure which DDR to get as some of my choices may be overkill/underkill on this board. I want to go for 1 Gig this time as this is primarily going to be a gaming rig (I want it to be "snappy").
Here are the DDR choices:
2x512 Corsair pc3200 C2
2x512 Corsair pc3200LL
2x512 Corsair pc3500
2x512 Kingston HyperX pc3500
? <------- whatever else you think!
What I'd like to do with this rig is have the ability to overclock the FSB up to about 250 max. I never really was an overclocker but I've read alot of success stories with the 2.4c and the P4P800 Deluxe. I'd like to be able to hit 3.0 ghz at some point.
Most likely I will run the cpu at stock to have PAT (HyperPath) enabled, but then again I would like the ability to overclock.
I know that o/cing is pretty much a crapshoot no matter what you get, but I want to see what you people would consider a "safe buy" for what I want to do.
like I said I've read through this entire post and still there seems to be no definitive answer on what DDR works the best.
While you're at it......do you see any problems with the components I'd like to buy?
Thanks in advance!
