which memory should I get for my system?

[princejoe]

I am shopping for my new sytem which built with abit NF-7 and xp barton 2500, I am thinking of going for two sticks of PC 3200 so I could run it dual channel. My budget is about $150 to $160. I found these two deals, not sure which one I should get tho, please give me some feedbacks. If you have other suggestions other than these two, please let me know. Thanks

socket A doesn't support dual channel...

anyway it really doesn't matter which one you get in this case...they're the same and cost the same..iono flip a coin?

mean mean socket 754, and his system is socket A, not 754. and socket A does support dual channel.


i would personally go with the mushkin, be either are fine really.

I'd choose the Corsair. The price is the same for either, and the Corsair are matched sticks for guaranteed DC compatibility.

Actually, Socket A does support dual channel. Most motherboards support it actually as long as it's not a very low end one. Anyway, the best thing to do is buy a matched pair or sticks for dual channel RAM. That way you know it will work.

to the poster above:

i assume you mean socket 754.. this guy is talking about the socket A athlon XP NforceII, which does support dual channel 😉

i'd get the corsair pack, although both are very good packs, good offers too.

Corsair is good, Mushkin is good as well. I think most people prefer Corsair though.

and i think you are wrong.

thanks for the feedbacks.

So either one will be good, right? I am using the Abit NF7s v2 motherboard, I might overclock the memory, which one will be better on overclocking? By the way, have you guys heard of infiniteon memory? Is it any good? Thanks

Yup, either are good.

I haven't tried to OC either of those, and my Corsair is not the Value-type. I wouldn't expect great OCing with value ram, but you never know. And that's really the point, to some extent OCing is a crap shoot. Different sticks (even from the same manufacturer) get different results. You just gotta see for yourself.
