OCZ Ram, worth the money?

Ender · 17 Feb 2006 at 20:05

Was wondering if OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC5300 Dual Channel Gold GX XTC Series EL-DDR2 (OCZ26672048ELGEGXT-K) (MY-064-OC) was a good choice for overclocking on an DFI NF4 Ultra-D or if there were better choices for the money.
Thanks in advance to anyone

it's incompatible mate. that ram is ddr2 which will not work with any amd setup. look out for standard ddr ram instead.

Something like this instead might be what you want:

OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC3200 Dual Channel Platinum Series EL-DDR CAS2 (OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K) (MY-057-OC) £170.32

I'm getting them exact same sticks too. Lifetime warranty, 2-3-2-5, allowed between 2.6v and 2.8v without voiding warranty...sounds good to me

Just bought the 2gb EL kit myself. Nice tight timings at stock. Not great for overclocking I hear but with a64 wheres the need to run in sync anyway.

OCZ is top memory. Never had any problems compared to paying similar amounts for other 'top brands'. There is something to be said with their 'hand tested' marketing pitch.

I have the same sticks mentioned above and mine sit at a steady o/c of 233 with a 3-3-3-7 settings.

At stock they are unsurpassed.

I got the OCZ EB as it does the tightest timings @ 200mhz (2-3-2-5 1T), does the tightest timings at 250mhz (3-3-2-8) and clocks like a dream. Currently got mine running 3-3-2-5 1T @ 260mhz with only 2.68v.

If you're overclocking I'd look at getting the PC4000 OCZ ram as it's guaranteed to do 250MHz
