HURRAY!!!

[nick1985]

just ordered another 256 of mushkin 2 2 2 pc2700!!! the price was 85 dollars which is very reasonable for this most excellent ram IMO.

 

[wfbberzerker]

256mb of pc2700 is only 43 bucks at crucial...

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

lol

 

[nick1985]

this 2700 will eat crucial alive


i have nothing against crucial. i use it for all my economical builds, its quality stuff. this is for my personal rig, so i want the best ram possible, which is why i got mushkin. you guys need to do a little more RAM research before you start laughing at me i think

maybe i do, is there something wrong with that?

 

[Lord Evermore]

Or maybe not enough research.

Even less than I originally thought.

well for starters, i think that mushkin is faster, fromt the benchmarks ive seen, mushkin low lat is better than corsair low lat.

also, i only buy my computer parts from newegg, thats just how i do it, i love that company.

not quite....i had my reasons that i listed right after that. or did you skip those just so you could say "owned"?

 

[Lord Evermore]

Your preference for Mushkin is just your preference. Nobody could honestly compare Corsair to Mushkin and say that one is overall better than the other at the same speeds and latencies. More people swear by Corsair than Mushkin these days it seems. And even Newegg has the Corsair cheaper than Mushkin.

Perhaps your post was meant to simply be a self-congratulations that you're getting more very good memory; ended up being interpreted as a gloat over how little you thought you'd paid for it.

By the way, you are running that memory at PC2100 speeds, aren't you? Or overclocking your frontside bus to 166MHz? If not, you're reducing your performance (no need for extra memory bandwidth even with single-channel, but cycle delays from an asynchronous bus are incurred).

oh i know. corsair is good stuff. mushkin is just my preference. i have 2700 to give myself some headroom for my 2500 ill be gettin in a few weeks. i didnt mean to "gloat" , i was just elated about my purchase

Honestly, if you wanted "headroom" you should have bought PC3200 instead.

 

[UCDznutz]

i'd take 512mb pc2700 of crucial over 256mb pc2700 mushkin for that price. i'd definately see a bigger difference in my everyday tasks with a 512mb upgrade over the 256 of faster stuff

mushkin doesnt offer 3200 low latency, and i would have to underclock it to match my 2500/overclock my 2500(i hate overclocking, i dont see a point)

also, i have never seen 2 2 2 pc3200 that would make me want to purchase it in the first place

thanks for the opinion. id rather have 512 great ram that 1 gig of good ram. thats just me though

Nick1985, just give it up already, the facts show that the priceerformance ratio, shows that you won't be seeing that much of an increase for 40 bucks.

No, a "high rollah" would be one who buys that pc3700+ (whatever max speed they're at). You're just a high-spendah.

I like this better

Personally I love my xms doing ddr400 right now cas2 of course.

i dont, 2-3-3, not 2-2-2, plus since i dont overclock, that extra speed is a waste. when i get my 2500, this 2700 will be more of a charm than it is now
