best 2gig for me?

aardvark · 5 Apr 2006 at 09:41

i think i might as well upgrade (why the hell not

)
at the moment i have a 3000+ clocked at 277x10

the memory i have is 1gig of geil pc4000 ultra platinum - it will do 250mhz at 2.5,4,4,7 but its at ~230mhz as its on a divider and i'm happy with its performance, i just need more.
i liked the fact that it was ddr500 as it gave me lots of room for overclocking without bothering about changing the settings too much.

so what do you think would be the best memory for me to get (2gig)??
theres a lot of choice so some recommendations would be most welcome (not too expensive though - don't go nuts).

thanks a lot

i am a bit doubtful about pc3200 ram - wouldn't that give me less room to overclock and mean i have to use a higher divider??

what about the corsair thats on offer? will the pc4000 cas3 really be much slower than the cas2 if i'm overclocking the memory anyway?

anybody got this ram in an amd64 setup?

cheers

hmmm, that sounds pretty good and they've just changed the weekly offers and its in it.

I've got some Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (£140.94) currently running at 490mhz 2.5-3-3-6 so I'd say it was a good clocker!

sooo many choices, but these sound good, i had no idea pc3200 ram could clock so high!

i've just had another thought - my motherboards max ram voltage is 2.8v in the bios and the board under volts anyway so thats closer to 2.7 - 2.75v so will that make a difference?
the ocz ram mostly wants 2.8v so that doesn't look very promising
