Little Help

DJProxo · 2 Dec 2007 at 16:08

First thing, im new to this buildin a PC stuff so just need lil help!

Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 1066MHz Dual Channel Kit (BL2KIT12864AL1065)

£59.99
(£70.49)

i was thinkin of going 4gb with that ram thats goin to cost me £140

but to be honest i have no idea if its worth it or not..
seems pretty good price to me but i dont kno if its a very good ram coz isnt that many reviews on it...

Yip it's good memory (it's just standard Ballistix with fancy lights), but usually overkill.

Which CPU are you getting? PC6400 is usually more than enough and 4gb can be had for under £80.

Yeah PC6400 will be fine. But if you've got the money then the Tracer will certainly do the job.

Btw, swap the Zalman for one of these and a decent 120mm fan.

thanks, i'll be goin with the tracer then...

hmm, never seen that CPU cooler lol, easy to install? this is first PC i will be buildin..

Yip it's easy to install. It's probably the best air cooler out there.
