Ok, I've got 1GB Geil Ultra Platinum PC3500 DDR RAM and with my new P4C800 it won't even allow me to run stable at DDR400 using any timings, so I need some help with which memory to use?

1. Corsair XMS PC3500
2. Kingston HyperX PC3500
3. OCZ PC3700
4. Corsair TwinX PC3200LL

Whichever one I will need to 512MB modules, so which one will be the best?

Thanks.

I'm using Hyper-X 3500's in my IC7, but they don't want to play @440DDR (@2.8v and most relaxed timing...), which by the way made to 460DDR (single stick) in my BH-7... :( My vote goes for TwinX's except they're really expensive...

Hey THUGS, you wanna lend me yours to play around for awhile? :p:D

If that's the case then don't even consider OCZ. Get the XMS LL.

Yeah, why do you still use Win98SE?

But I guess it is better in some aspects.. it is faster and probably better for games

I just put PC3500 on there because eventually I would like to grab a 800MHZ processor and felt that I would have some overhead as far as that goes when overclocking. I had the HyperX stuff also, it was great memory, but it didn't like going much over 425 on the old Sis655. So should I get the 3200LL? Or would the XMS 3500 be better?
