Which RAM??

pbmaster · Jun 2, 2007

I need to fine some good DDR2 800 and I've narrowed it down to three choices. What do you guys think would be best? I do ALOT of gaming, so I need fast and reliable memory. I know the Corsair has better timings, but I still want some input from you guys. Thanks.

Out of the bunch, Id choose the Corsair. However, with your gaming, Id go with Micron D9 chips. The Crucial Ballistix and the GSKill Black heatspreaders will allow plenty of overclocking and damn great performance. But, if you have to have these three choices, Id go with either the first OCZ (Damn good price after rebate) or Corsair.

Really though, Buffalo Firestix, Crucial Ballistix or the Gskill Black Heat spreaders are the better buys.

i would go with the first ocz's just cause there cheaper lol

Just for my own information, what chips do the ones I listed have and what makes the others better? I have Corsair now and I love it, so any of the others will be a completely new experience for me.

Micron D9's. Most do 1100Mhz with a small voltage bump and 5-5-5 timings. Great price, too.

I find that the XMS2 timings can be tightened so much though. eg My DDR2 667 was @ 3.3.3.8 @660MHz (normally 4.4.4.12). Gives great performance on my AMD system when I want the lower timings. Otherwise I run it @730+ @4.4.4.10
