OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) Platinum XTC PC3200

[ExtremeGamer09]

I bought 2x1gb of OCZ Platinum XTC for $164.45 is that a pretty good deal do you think?

On newegg it costs abt $220

same timings and speed as the platinum series and those sell for $150

if you wanna overclock, you get some DDR500 ram for cheaper than that

Performance ram is never a good buy this link will show you why.

Overclocking really is the special ability of the XMS memory as there are versions that can easily achieve 500MHz and even 550MHz right out of the box. This means Corsair guarantees that their XMS PC4400 memory will be able to operate with a 1:1 ratio with the processor using a 275MHz FSB. This is something no Value Select memory will ever be able to achieve. Therefore, anyone searching for the ultimate overclocking hardware will obviously be more interested in what the XMS series has to offer.

Your own links prove you wrong....

No they do not, at normal speeds that 99% of us use there is no major real world differance in performance. I would rather have 2GB of CAS 5 "Value" over 1GB of "XMS" and I will take quanitiy any day over the "perfomamce ram" because cas 5 beats virtual ram/.

again you should read your links before using them as proof to back up your assertions....

but hey I just learned to read the other day..
So what do I kniow...
