NEED MEMORY!!!! Best Bang for your Buck

[sianof]

I am looking to get a Single 512 DDR chip.
I am hoping to do some overclocking. Should I go with PC3200?
I am looking to spend under $105 shipped if possible.
Please let me know my best bet
Thanks

how about some 512mb Hyperx pc3000??? This stuff is pretty good and wont break the bank

I just picked up some PC3500 for $100 shipped (512mb) from www.hardcorecooling.. I can't speak for the quality yet, but it should be fairly decent.

I was considering the Kingston Hyper X PC3000 but someone said that all that is, is a pc2700 hand picked. Is that true? I am trying my best to keep the cost around $100.
Thanks for the help guys

I think all PC3000 ram is hand picked PC2700.. I may be wrong, but I think that I'm right 🙂

its really good stuff. Orfered mine from googlegear and it runs great. Most hit 200mhz fsb

Well I thought that being a hand picked 2700 was a bad thing. Maybe not. Figure i'll probably just go with the kingston. Have heard only good about that 512 PC3000 chip.
Thanks for the info.
PS- how much did you pay for yours?
thanks

Hyperx 3000 or 3500 and twinmos are good

 

[m1ke101]

the kingston hyperX is definitely good stuff. Mine can do 210mhz 2-2-2-6 fine.

Picked up some TwinMOS/Winbond PC3200,512MB from
a guy selling it over at Amdmb fs forum. Pretty popular thread
he's got going over there. Some have it running
at 208FSB with 4 2 2 CAS2 timings. Great stuff. $110.00 shipped.

How about 2x512 running at DDR465 at 2-3-2-6, 2.8v...the twinmos is great stuff 🙂

Microcenter has PC3200 cas 2.5 512MB stick for $79.99 after a $20 rebate.....pretty cheap PC3200....🙂

DO you think that there is a big different between the PC2700 and the PC3000 Kingston Hyper X 512 MB chip?
I am debating if it is worth an extra $15 for the pc3000 priced at $89 or the PC2700 Priced at $79
What do you guys think?
I will be matching that with either an xp1700 or xp2100
thanks

actually googlegear.com has 512mb pc3000 sticks for $84 i believe

So what is the BEST deal on a 512 Chip (PC2700,PC3000, or PC3200) that can be overclocked arond $100 and some change???
I really like the Kingston Hyper X 512 PC300
Someone said this doesn't work well with the Asus A7N8X deluxe. Is this false? Anyone have this combo? I am using the A7N8X deluxe. Please let me know a good chip to go with
Thanks

(PS- This and my power supply are my LAST pieces on the List before Build Time !!!!🙂

Best Buy this week... 512 MB of PC2700 for $40 after rebates... probably not the most overclockable, but hey... for $40, I'm not gonna argue.
