where to buy memory in the UK?

[motorbikeking1]

i have been searching all over the internet for the crucial 2GB kit (1GBx2) DDR2 PC2-8000 / DDR2-1000 Ballistix 240-pin DIMM Memory Module to buy in the UK but i cant find it anywhere, a little help please.

Hehe although I live in Greece I can point you to some UK stores that sell high -end memory:

- http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ - they have all the memory you can dream of.

- http://www.overclock.co.uk/home.php

- http://www.specialtech.co.uk/ here too


Have fun.

EDIT

Hmm it seems like the specific modules you are looking for are not there either. I guess they may have stopped it cause I see the Dominator mem all ove.

Why do you specifically need this memory when there are plenty of better options there?

This kit cost half of my pc, grr.
There is couple of places (froogle) but the most reliable is -

i dont specifficly need this memory its just suggest memory to be used.

i will be building a pc with this:
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
XFX GeForce 7600GT
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
Western Digital Caviar 250GB S300 16mb 7200rpm
Antec NeoHE PSU

but i wasnt really sure about what memory i should get for it and saw that that memory was one of the ones recommended, something else i was looking at was the Corsair Memory TWIN2X2048-6400C4 2x1GB 240-Pin DIMM XMS2-6400 CL4 not sure if that would be better or not though.
i plan on doing some ocing at some point, but i probably wont be ocing it much and will be happy with 2.8ghz or 3.0ghz; if that changes anything on what memory i should choose.

well see my thread below

i have this http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=4D08

and still concerned

so far to be frank played only Heroes V HoF and FlatOut2 on this setup

depends off cause what are you to do on your pc - such an expensive memory in combination with 7600gt is a strange choice.

as i said all my setup (with monitor) costs £800.

thats over £300, im not prepared to spend that much, my limit on the memory is about £200

 

[motorbikeking1]

whats wrong with the 7600gt, its not that bad and im not after amazingly good memory, as i said i dont really want to be spending more than £200 on it. would the memory i mentioned earlier be any good with my mb, and any good at ocing.

i dont do tons of gaming and run at resolutions of about 1280x1024 and im happy with that, video quality doesnt matter too much for me and the 7600gt was a fairly cheap option. (there is always the possability to upgrade it if its not up to the job or when gaming requirments get too high for it.

 

[olmer]

Yep, you are okay then.

6.4k - http://froogle.google.co.uk/froogle?q=2...DR2+800+PC6400&hl=en&show=dd&scoring=p

8k - http://froogle.google.co.uk/froogle?q=2...+1000+PC2+8000&hl=en&show=dd&scoring=p

 

[motorbikeking1]

one of my questions that havnt been answered is what would be better pc2-6400 or oc2-8000 for general use/gaming and a bit of ocing and what about the memory i have akready looked at, the corsair xms2 as that is under £200 (in my price range)

 

[olmer]

6400 (800) is highest for your chosen mb. 8000 is only if you change your setup often and want to keep memory for a better one in the near future. xms2 dominator is perfect.

 

[motorbikeking1]

excellent ill be going with the xms2 dominator then as i have no plans of upgrading the mb any time soon.

thx for all your help, i know know everything i need to know and everything i want to get to build my new pc(well pretty much)

The Corsair Dominator is overpriced for what you get out of it compared to other brands.

PS: Did you try www.crucial.com/uk for the memory you were looking for?

 

[motorbikeking1]

oh well, ill be happy with the dominator but ill keep looking around incase i change my mind.

i think i did but i dont remember it having a price.

Kind of expensive though, to be honest. I say go to overclockers.co.uk and get the last of the Crucial 10th Anniversary they have left!

 

[motorbikeking1]

couldnt find the crucial memory you said on the overclockers website but i found this which is the dominator memory which is better then the memory i was looking at (the normal xms2 memory by corsiar). this memory seems quite good and its not too expensive, just what i need and has a low letency of CL4.

Edit: That's a pretty good offer you've spotted, though. To be honest I'd say that's a great deal.
