okay i just got an opteron 165 1.8Ghz and i buying Asus A8R-MVP motherboard and taking out my x1800xl from 2nd comp to and hooking it to the new one. I haven't been keeping update to ram. SO i want to buy 1GB DDR ram that will handle my CPU overclock from 1.8 GHz to 2.6 GHz. It needs to have low latency and should cost below $200USD. So what ram do you guys recommend :?

What I am thinking of buying at the moment :

OCZ PC3500 Gold Gamers eXtreme XTC Edition 1GB Kit [2x512Mb) DDR433 CL2-2-2-5 OCZ4331024ELGEGXT-K

corsair twinx2048-3500LL PRO.
guaranteed to go 2-3-2-6 1T at 218 MHz. careful reading f reviews shows it will usually overclock to 250 MHz 2.5-3-3-6 at 1T, 2.85v
best of luck
ps - sticks are physically big, so be careful

did you hit the search button at all? Haven't you check what people have on their signatures? You have 500+ plus I'm sure you had seen quite a few postings about memory for opteron.

but I would go with Samsung chips.

ballistix is only $120 for 2 x 512

best ram you can buy cause it can do multiple things.. all 1T

like

2-2-2 up to about 215

2.5-2-2 up to about 240

2.5-3-3 up to about 275

It's also the fastest ram compared to others @ 2-2-2 200 according to at/

If you want samsung TCCD this is where it's at for $138
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820220033

it's also runs low latency 2-2-2 up to about 210

does'nt do so well in the middle frequencies like needs 3-3-3 but will clock a little higher.. like 300Mhz.
