Which RAM?

[GreatBarracuda]

I want to upgrade in the next few months by adding another gig and selling off the 512mb I have now (or not).

So which is the best? Obviously, I don't want to spend too much and basically want my apps to load up a little faster and reduce the loading times for (HL2, Far Cry etc.) and some choppiness.

OCZ PC-3200 DDR400 Premier Series 1GB
$139.99

Kingmax PC3200 DDR400 1GB
$121.00

Kingston ValueRAM PC3200 DDR400 1GB
$130.00

Geil Value Dual Channel 1GB PC3200
$127.00


Edit: No overclocking either.
Edit 2: Well, maybe just a little

How about Crucial and save yourself some money.

Mine do 2.5-2-2-11 upto 218mhz @2.8V (thought that might be 2.9V due to my mobo overvolting). That's dual channel and 1T.

Of course, I could have just got lucky


One thing don't get the Kingston as I've only heard bad things about it.

no you didnt just get lucky,I got crucial pc3200 from 2003 that does 250mhz @ 2.8v 3-3-3-10 1T.

Crucial is good stuff.

Geil value's apparently now have BH5-UTT's in them
not sure what the OCZ's have... could also be the same BH5-UTT's?? but $12 more

OCZ Value w/UTT AKA BH-5 aka Same chips in OCZ VX that goes for $250-300.

Does 2-2-2-5 @ 240-270 fsb.

Only disadvantage is they need 3.1-3.4V pumped through them.

Great value memory for overclockers, maybe a different story for you.

Goes wonderful with the new NF4 DFI boards since they support up to 3.6V.

I can provide a link if your interested.


Twinmos also uses the same chips, goes for around $100.

Same with the new Mushkin Blue line sticks.

Thanks for the effort. Actually, I want to buy from the store that I have linked.

OCZ PC-3200 DDR400 Value Series 1024MB



Also, how's this?

Wow - I think we need to start a praise-to-Crucial thread! That's immense - I might try and see where I can get to. With an XP it'd benefit more from extra fsb with a bit of higher latency right? I'll up the voltage upto 2.9V (aka 3V with my mobo) and see where I can get to.
