Best RAM ?

SouthYorkieLad · 13 Jun 2006 at 17:17

I'm currently going to be upgrading my spec below... (look out for it on the forsale thread)

I'm pretty disapointed with the Crucial Ballistix 2Gig Kit,

I'm going to be updating to a new motherboard and AMD FX62 AM2 Chipset and a pair of 7950's 1024mb and really want some DDR2 1066Mhz and would really like a 4Gig dual channel kit... Lowest Latency as possible.....

What do you recommend, money isnt an object.

4Gb in a 2x1Gb really is rare and overpriced currently, so if you do manage to get hold of a kit you'll be paying well over the odds for a kit that is not going to benefit you.

Currently systems aren't managing to use 2Gbs in games, so more will just be an expensive bragging right.

You're probably best staying with your current 2 gig kit and upgrading in a year or so when it will actually make a difference.

Agreed, 4GB is just useless at the moment (unless you're into Photoshop and the like).

In terms of brand I have never been let down with OCZ ram.

4 gigs won't be good, 4 gigs will be the same as 2 gigs, but twice the price.

and slower too, it'll hammer the memory controller & I don't believe xp can address that much ram.
