RAM for A64, slight OC

[cjdomer04]

Hey

Just a quick question about basic RAM. In a 3000+ A64 / VNF3-250 system, which RAM between those three should I get? All are about the same price, so that has no bearing. Are they all going to be the same? Also, do I need to shell out more to be able to do some basic OC, or should these be ok?

NO, look into OCZ EB series.

He did say Basic OCing. I think that any of those should be able to get a little bit highier with a touch more voltage. OCZ EB memory is EXPENSIVE compared to these cheapies hes looking at here guys.. so is Corsair...

So, w/o OCing, is any one of these better than another?

Get the ValueRAM and pray to the lord that you'll get BH-6 chips.






Or just get some OCZ Platinum PC3200 EL RAM, its $123 a stick of 512mb at monarchcomputer.com. (this is what I would get)

Or, how much performance increase would you expect if I got the OCZ EB 3200? I think the $120 would be much better turning my horrible video card into a good one, unless this increase would make my system much better. If the basic RAM is good with no OC, but not going to do much OCing, then I can live with that.
