Memory Question

[LasombraB]

I'm going to upgrade to 2GB of memory in my system. I currently have Corsair XMS 1GB (TwinX1024-3200LLPT). About the cheapest I can find this memory is at Monarch for $269. The timings is 2-3-2-6 on it. Why is it so expensive? Is it that they just don't make much of it anymore? Should I just sell it and buy some OCZ memory instead?

I found it for $199, still not cheap but much better then 269

Where did you find it for that price?

That is different memory, it's the TwinX1024-3200XLPT, not the TwinX1024-3200LLPT. It may work buy I don't know.

Actually it's not, the TwinX1024-3200LLPT is just the model number for two of the 512 chips which are designated by the model number TwinX1024-3200XLPT.

Would 4 of these work in my motherboard? OCZ EL Platinum Revision 2 1GB (2 x 512MB)

It looks like my motherboard has a max volts of 2.8, and this ram runs 2-2-2-5 @ 2.75v.

I don't think you need to go with that memory for what you are running, especially for 2GB's worth. I would think about maybe some Corsair Value select or some OCZ Value VX
