How good is this ram?

[Madmantis6]

I'm pretty much a newbie when it come to overclocking and building computers.


With that said i have decided on an AMD athlon Xp 2500 on an epox 8rda+, and i have no clue on what kind of ram i should get.

I plan on overclocking, and i want to know if this ram is any good?

You would be better off getting PC3200 or PC3500, especially for OC'ing. Also, Corsair might be better, but Geil might be good too, not so sure on that.

Its uncertain what ram would suit you better.
Your 8rda+ might not be capable of a 200mhz fsb...
If you are patient, I'd wait until you see what stepping your motherboard has.
You might only need some good pc2700.

184-Pin. CL=2.5-Unbuffered 2.5V. 64x64 Requires DDR 400 supported Motherboard - Lifetime Warranty. Model#: VS512MB400 -OEM
