urgent question: GEIL vs Corsair

FishPolice · 27 May 2007 at 15:50

I have 2 pairs of ram:

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX

At the moment I am running the Geil ram in my system (had the Corsair in there originally and it seemed fine -not tested it at my current speed though). Tonight I am building a budget system for a mate comprising of my old ASRock Dual VSTA mobo/e4300 cpu/7600GT.

Now the question is, which ram should I keep for myself? I simply have not had time to test each pair.

Many thanks

It doesn't matter as I think that motherboard is capped to 300FSB anyway so just keep what you're happy with.

hmm just been reading that big thread about Geil ram and problems with ASUS boards. ASRock is basically ASUS so perhaps I should just keep the Geil and give him the Corsair?

edit: can't see a ram compatibility list on ASRock's website anyway.

Neither will be a good option because they both want bigger voltages than the ASRock motherboard can supply (2V iirc). Crucial RAM runs cleanly at 1.8V and I would strongly suggest you get some of that.
