Is GeIL Golden Dragon PC3500 Dual DDR any good

[Chris A]

I am looking for some good deals on a Gig of Ram and saw these at Newegg. I have in my cart a IS7 and a P4 2.6C. Not looking for the fastest ram just a good deal on some ram that can handle a overclock and perform well.

Thanks foofoo,

Looks like I have a lot to learn about Ram. Any suggestions?

I think twinmos or buffalo(you can get these at newegg) are really good for the money..

400MHz winbond 5ns chips.. 512MB for $85.. good deal..
winbond chips are the best overclockers

Are the Mushkin Blues any good. After the Anand discount they are close to the same price.

Go with mushkin black hi-perf. they are worth it. They're about $25 more then the Geil's you posted about.
