MSI Neo2 Plat - 2Gb Recommendations...

[siuko]

Right - I have read a lot of the neo2 plat post on the forum but it was taking forever to find the info I wanted...

If any could spec me some reliable ram for the MSI Neo2 Plat motherboard I would be most grateful.

I am running a Venice 3200 and would like 2Gb (2 x 1Gb Sticks) so I can run 400Mhz and 1T.

I wont be overclocking at all and would just like the most stable reliable ram going.

I have upto about £180 at a push and I'm looking to make my order tomorrow!!

Here is what I was looking at presently...

Mushkin 2GB DDR EM3200 Enhanced Performance Dual Channel Kit (2x1GB) CAS3 (991461) (MY-006-MK) - £129.19

G.Skill 2GB DDR HZ PC4000 (2x1GB) CAS3 Dual Channel Kit (F1-4000USU2-2GBHZ) (MY-008-GS) - £146.82

OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC3200 Dual Channel Platinum Series EL-DDR CAS2 (OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K) (MY-057-OC) - £176.19

At the moment I am leaning towards the OCZ stuff as I have read a fair bit on the ocz support forum with people running it fine, but does anyone have any other tips/recommendations?

Do you want to pay a lot more for a few percent of speed increase?

Do not get PC4000 as it is meant to run at 250Mhz and you do not intend to overclock so look at PC3200

No I am not bothered about a few % increase in speed - my main concern over anything else is stability and reliability.

I just looked at the PC4000 stuff as it was middle priced between the bottom and top one and looked ok. I thought it may give me a little future proofing for putting in my next motherboard as well...

your next mobo will prob be ddr2 though so the ram your planning to buy will be useless by then. id go with gskil zx if i were you. good value and fast.

Another vote for G.Skill ZX. Works crackin for me in my Neo2 Plat.
