Best Ram to go with...

robmarcer · 25 Jul 2007 at 13:42

Hello

I need some help picking some ram please.

I'm not going to be overclocking.

I want 4gb.

The box will be running 64bit Vista.

The motherboard is an Asus P5K SE Intel P35.
The processor is a Q6600 "LGA775 Kentsfield" 2.40GHz (1066FSB).
The Vid card (if it matters) is an OcUK GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB.

The system is just for playing games and I will not be upgrading it (I'll just buy a complete new system in a few years) so I don't mind filling all the ram slots if that is the best way forward.

Thanks for any help you can give!

any 800MHz with Low timings! lol every one is liking the GeIL RAM!

Low timings don't have much real world benefits for core 2 duo systems, I'd go for bus speed, or price

Id go with the OcUK 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel Kit as you wont need to overclock it and is £50 + cheaper than its rivals.

So this RAM would be decent with a Q6600 overclocked? It is £10.00 more than the Ballistix, but if it saves me worries of overclocking the RAM then it'd be worth it.
