What 6400 Ram should I go for

JayAre · 14 Jun 2006 at 19:50

I'm about to take the AM2 root and want some advice on what DDR2 6400 memory I should go for. I'm not really looking at overclocking and don't want to spend a fortune for little performance gain.
What's the best value for money?

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C5 TwinX (2x1GB) (MY-092-CS) - £156.86
G.Skill 2GB DDR2 ZX PC2-6400 (2x1GB) CAS4 Dual Channel Kit (F2-6400PHU2-2GBZX) (MY-011-GS) - £170.32
Crucial 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-6400C4 800MHz Ballistix Dual Channel Kit (BL2KIT12864AA804) (MY-078-CR) - £211.44

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C3 TwinX (2x1GB)

if you're loaded

BTW this will overclock to over 1 gigahertz! Nothing G skill make will get past this stuff.

Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB)

if you're not

Still great ram

I chose Corsairs XMS2-6400C4, kinda appealed for Sli-ready and dual channel
although the other guys like g.skill, but personally i've never used that.

Just picked up a couple of sticks of ADATA ddrII-800mhz ram with ELpida GE ics on them for £41per stick, just waiting for my motherboard and cpu to arrive this coming week and I will tell how well they perform.
