What is the cheapest 2-2-2-5 PC3200 out there?

[slash196]

The cheapest I've found is Corsair TwinX 1024x3200XL, which is about 250 bucks. Is there anything cheaper?

Corsair at Newegg for $156? http://www.newegg.com/app/View...=20-145-440&depa=1

I don't know if that is 2-2-2-5.

That's CL2.5.

But seriously, slash, you don't need tight timings for good performance. Quantity and bandwith over timings.

I will buy myself Crucial Ballistix PC3200 (2 X 512mb) tomorrow or on tuesday. 128.99$US for 1 stick and get 4$ discount with the purchase of 2. That is sounds good to me. Ok ok, timing are 2-2-2-6 instead of 2-2-2-5 :roll: AFAIK, the crucial is faster and clocks higher than Corsair's 3200XL.

Review Here.

I used 2x256 2-3-2-5-T1 sticks of pdp/patriot PC3200 RAM on a A64 3200+ build I did for my brother inlaw and it runs rock solid..Didn't OC any, but according to the review on the link above it should OC pretty well.

on amd systems you want to run in 2-2-2-10 or 11 anyways.

Actually the ballistic run just fine at 2-5-2-2 and it is better than the corsair INTEL For best performance with AMD 2-2-2-10-T1

Couln't have said it better myself.

Those Crucial Ballistix are the best memory on the market.
