Memory for a Q6600

Jon12345 · 14 Feb 2008 at 13:33

Any suggestions on 2 x 1GB dual channel memory? Nothing too pricey. I'm getting a Asus PK5-E board.

Thanks,

Jon

The best value ones remain the Geil ULL 2Gb PC6400 or the OCZ Platinum XTC 2Gb PC6400.

Vote here for the Geil ULL stuff. Bought it this time last year for around £70 i think, have had it running fine at 900 FSB no problems at all (when i had my e6300), excellent value, especially now it is less than half the price.

I'm using OCZ Platinum Rev 2 2Gb PC6400 4-4-4-12 2.1v at 800mhz.

Does the job fine for my 3.5Ghz Q6600

It's fine but not the best value for money since the Corsair PC6400 4-4-4-12 can be had this week only for £1 less.

I've used 4Gb of both Geil and OCZ for a couple of weeks and the Geil was a lot more overclockable than the OCZ kits, even posted at 1066Mhz 5-5-5-15!
