Which ram?

[joe722]

I'm building my first system and need 1 gig (2x512) of PC3200 memory. I'll be doing some overclocking and will spend around $100 on memory. My motherboard is an Epox 9NPA+ Ultra and processor is an Athlon64 3200+. Which ram should I get that can overclock, for about $100?

for 100, hmm i dont think you can get any good overclocking ram. 2 suggestions, raise limit or rent a gun and hold up a microcenter

lol i suggest the first one....😀 for legal reasons

I guess I should raise the limit 😛 Say I bring it up another $30, could I get decent (not great) overclocking ram for this price?

just get value ram for about $70. run a divider, performance goes down 1%. you wont notice.

 

[jimbob200521]

either do what theman said, or get some crucial

I've had good experiences with Mushkin, Corsair and Geil. The Mushkin value I have in my system now can do 225mhz @ 2.5-3-3-10.
