Which RAM would you go with?

[MrMatt]

So I'm going with an AMD Phenom 955, and a HD 4890. Which of these RAMs would you pair with it? I'm leaning towards the Corsair. The system will be used mainly for gaming & watching movies on.


Corsair Dominator

Mushkin Blackline

G-Skill Ripjaws.


I'm leaning towards the Corsair because I've had great luck with them in every rig I've ever put together, but I do notice the timings on the latter two are better.

I wouldn't pick that model mushkin since the voltage is rated so high (what's the max RAM voltage for a 955 anyway?). Of those three specifically I'd go with the G.Skill, but if you want to do Mushkin I'd get Redlines instead.

They were in stock last week, so I imagine they'll be back in a couple days under a new entry. Or you can always find em on a different site.

RAM itself is a commodity. I tend to go with American (preferably Californian) corporations because their business hours generally sync up with mine and I can get RMAs quicker, so my pick would be Corsair, but you really can't go wrong with any major brand.

Of those three linked, I'd go with the G-Skill Ripjaws, based on lower voltage rating of 1.6v

F'ing A that RAM is fast...and it's cheaper than what I had picked. I'm going with it!
