Which Memory Should I go With?

[Desisuperman]

Ordering a rig from www.ncix.com in th enext few days and i'm unsure as to what sort of ram i should get!

I recall reading an article here about memory and how high end memory had minimum performance gains for A64??

I'm considering the following memory. Any suggestions

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?...ture=CRUCIAL%20TECHNOLOGY&promoid=1026

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?...ufacture=OCZ%20Technology&promoid=1026

or will a set of good ol value ram be just fine

Thanks in Advance for your suggestions!

What system is that going to be and wherefore are you going to use it?

EDIT: Both the OCZ Premier and the Corsair Value should do fine, whatever your system's going to be (for)...

Well going to be building a AMD 3800 x2 with a DFI Lanparty Ut NF4 sli-dr.

Here's the thing too. From what I can remeber, it's better to have ram runnign at tighter timmings then to have it runnign at high speeds. Will i be able to run valu ram with tight timings?

You will be hard pressed to lower the timings on that Value RAM of course... But in fact you don't really notice a difference between a Cas Latency of 2 and one of 2.5 IMO... Of course, if you're going to put SiSoft Sandra or Memtest86 on it, there will be a difference, but I think you can surely go with RAM that has a CL of 2.5...

check our this thread. sure, you will notice a difference in sythetic benchies like sandra, but in real apps, latency doesnt make much of a differece. its better to save your money on the ram, and upgrade the video card.
