RAM choice

Xploited Titan · Aug 29, 2003, 07:11 AM

Hi, I'm going for an nForce 2 platform, but I'm wondering what dual channel RAM I should take....

I'm ready to overclock, so I'll need 1Go (2*512Mo) RAM, but the one with the best timings at high speeds, for maximum performance on an nForce2...

Thank you

Hello Xploited Titan,

good ram is:

Corsair
Twinmos/Winbond
Samsung (not every)
Infineon (not every)

as PC3200 with latency 2,5
or PC3700 or better with any latency.

I think the best ist Corsair and Twinmos/Winbond, because they have the
same chips on it, the BH5 or CH5. Both of them are very good to OC.
I have Twinmos/Winbond PC3200 and it runs at FSB215 with 5,2,2,2.
I think I can get higher with the RAM, but my motherboard is at the end.

PS. I think hardware is a little bit expansive in belgium isn't it ?
Try to look in german online-shops, the shipment is not so expensive
in some shops. Try www.geizhals.at/de

I know some1 who will go to Thailand soon, and there everything is about 50% or more cheaper...

I'm gonna buy an Abit NF7-S mobo with a very overclockable Barton 2500+ and with very good memory....

It seems that OCZ RAM isn't that good....

GEIL neither

Mushkin isn't very special

Kingston: I dunno....

I've Corsair PC-2400 memory, and I've to say it's rather good.... Maybe I'll stick to Corsair...

But then it will be TwinX1024-3200LL memory, isn't it?

Mushkin PC3500 Black Level 2 memory is the best you'll find, if money is no issue. Corsair and OCZ would be my next choices.

Mushkin ram is just insane! It overclocks great, and at great timings. (If only I didn't get a dud mobo *Cries*)

Mushkin memory then... k, thanks buddies.... Will be sending my list....

Oh, for the Barton... Which stepping? I think the most overclockable is the AQUCA0303VPAW...

Am I right???
