Memory issue

xtraLONG · 15 Mar 2006 at 18:20

i'm building a new machine!
Asrock 939DUAl-Sata2 bla bla, AMD64 3700+, 6800LE (old), LCPower Supersilent V2 550w, Western Digital Caviar SE16 320GB 3200KS SATA-II, Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro!
But i don't know what to buy for the memory, i think i gonna buy OcUK Value 1GB (2x512MB) PC3200, because its cheap(46.94pounds with VAT), my question is: are they good for OC? of very very bad, and only good for stock speeds?
Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200PT Platinum CAS3 (58.75), better or worse than OcUK Value 1gb?
THX IN ADVANCE

Value RAM will not overclock very much, if at all usually. However, with A64 chips you can run your memory on a divider without it affecting performance beyond 1% or 2%. If you run your RAM on a divider, that should be fine

the Corsair XMS would blow the OcUK value chips away. The corsair XMS are highly overclockable where as the OcUK value ones are just basic ones designed to run at stock, i'd be extremely surprised if you got any OCing outa of the OcUK ones. If you wish to overclock, i would recommend the XMS ram over the OcUK ones any day. But learn from my mistake, i brought it thinking, ok i'll pay double the price for good ram, rather than buying more of it. If i had the chance again i'd just buy 2GB of 3200 value ram.
