OCZ PC3500 Vs Crucial PC2700. How much faster?

[Malladine]

Anyone have experience with, or an opinion on, this?

Let's see...

166mhz (pc2700) vs 216mhz (pc3500)...

Why is this a difficult question?

What's faster? well DUH!!! 😕

 

[ElFenix]

if you're gonna run each at the same speed then it doesn't matter. the crucial is only rated for 2.5 166Mhz operation though.

3500-2700=800 if it really runs.

 

[Malladine]

so PC3500 is DDR432? Well that's not much better, hmmph 😛

Wouldn't run past PC3200 lvls on my mobo either. Damn it's expensive. Doesn't seem worth it to me. For $40 more, 1gb of Crucial PC2700 is certainly better.

Such is the industry 🙂

OCZ has a terrible (past) reputation for bogus reviews of their memory, scamming customers, and horrible support. Whether things have changed or not is a good question. I would suggest doing a SEARCH and making your own decision to give them a chance. I for one will continue to avoid doing business with them.

But searching is too easy! I want stimulating forum conversations with my friends here at Anandtech 😀

Searching, no. Stimulating posts, yes.

Oh and thanks for the reply. I think i'm all set on this ram issue now 🙂
