What DDR2 memory to get?

Scavar · Jan 22, 2007

Ok so you can see my current specs over there on the side, my memory blows. 4x512mb or valueselect corsair 667 pc5300 stuff.

I want to get 4x1gb, but I know I can't afford that quite yet, but I was curious as to what everyone thinks is quality for getting 2x1gb sticks or ddr2 800 or higher? Wouldn't hurt if the stuff OCs well, as my motherboard and processor are extreme OCers.

... usually high speed ram is just an overclocked, overvolted version of slower ram with the same chips...
keep that in mind, i did, and i in no way regret it, i got my ramm to 1000 MHz on 2.1 volts, and that ram is 2.2...

I think ive pretty much decided on those G.Skills, cant really beat that price, and even if I cant OC them, they are still good, much better then my current ram. I might even be able to get all 4 sticks at once, though it wouldnt help much in windowsXP lol

Hopefully though it works with my 680i motherboard, other G.Skill ram works on it, so I don't think it should be a problem.

yea, get 2 gigs max, unless youre gonna run 64 bit xp.... i definately wouldnt reccomend vista...

I got a different set of G.Skills, working on how to OC them, not sure how timings work. It's currently at 4-4-4-12-2T 754mhz 1.9v
