spec ram for e6600

kooj · 17 Feb 2007 at 18:20

ok im getting an E6600 but i know jack crap about ram times and all that noise i hear people talk about when i hear people talking about overclocking

so basically i wanna know what ram i will need to clock an E6600 to 3 Ghz

thanks in advance

I think it's more a case of motherboard and ram combo
and which works well together than purely down to the ram.
Been in the same situation of making the right choice myself.
I've personally decided on the GeIL
Everything else above this price range is all good but not worth the extra
hard earn't money in my opinion.

im gonna be using a Gigabyte DS3

btw your bit of html aint working so i cant tell what ram your suggesting
thx

I was going to get the ds3 but like the cheapo bang for buck
asus
looks to be a very solid buy.And very cheap so no biggy upgrading again.

the ds3 is already in the post
did i do something dumb i read like 3 reviews before i ordered it

Yea so much choice it's so hard these days to make sure
you match well.How many asus core duo boards now?
30?
:confused:

that ram seems good might order it week after next
unless anyone can recommend otherwise

geff_r · 17 Feb 2007 at 18:40

Nope it's a solid choice just don't like the look of it myself
and always gone asus so will again.The ram depends on your budget
for me that's the best i can find around the £120 ish mark.

kooj · 17 Feb 2007 at 18:47

i'd spend like £150 if there was gonna be a noticable improvement

Gotta get the geil 6400 at the INSANE price it's at, goes with the DS3/6600 like cheese and crackers!

get the geil mate i paid £160 for 2 gig in november and its sat happily at 900+ mhz 5-5-5-15 ever since

so its settled one more thing in concrete..............*thinks about graphics card* DOES IT EVER END!?!??!!?

cheese and crackers you say........now i want cheese and crackers

There's really only one route on a budget in my opinion
and that's for the bfg geforce
8800 gts 320 mb i love the fact that it's lifetime warranty i'm sure bfg's retain
value quite a bit because of this.By the time i can afford to get my 6600
etc this will hopefully be a bit cheaper can't see that happening any time soon though.Stuck on a 2800 barton @ 2.25 ghz 7600 gs agp 1 gig at 180 fsb
supreme commander is a big wakeup call.
