Which Ram to buy?

-Sevendust- · 05-06-2008, 03:46 PM

Newegg.com - A-DATA 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

Newegg.com - CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

Newegg.com - Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

Newegg.com - OCZ SLI-Ready Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory

Cant really decide which one to get. Hopefully I could get some input here to make my decission

I was kinda going toward the patriot memory for its timings.

If you want performance then go with Ocz or Patriot due to the lower timings, I would just go with the A-Data if I were choosing because its the cheapest and Im not looking for the ultimate performance.

I'd go corsair but I'm biased to them among those choices.

I probably wont notice a real difference in any of them but might as get the best I can get for un 100$

You're probably right. I've had good luck with corsair memory though. Plus it's not too much more expensive than the cheapest.

ivanolo · 05-06-2008, 07:45 PM

A-DATA has the most reviews, but I trust Corsair more....

-Sevendust- · 05-06-2008, 07:50 PM

Well I was gonna go with patriot, Ive always had good luck with OCZ and Corsair though too. Kinda a tough choice. Then again its only 100 bucks and it wont kill me if I have to RMA. Think Im gonna try the Patriot. Thanks

I'd get the patriot just because its probably the best deal for the speed you get.

fwiw i've been running that same patriot ram in 4-4-4-12 for about 6 months now without any issues.

-Sevendust- · 05-06-2008, 10:43 PM

Yeah I ended up buying that.
So my computer upgrade for the year is done.

Upgraded my video card to an 8800 GT and 4 gig of ram.
So 5000+ amd
8800GT
4Gig Ram

I hope AoC will be playable now
