i want to upgrade my ram to 1 gig, what set of sticks do you guys think i should get, and why? also will it help me overclock?

 

[thehybridpyro]

go ocz
id get 2 gigs of the OCZ platinum off newegg.com
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820227210
its cheaper now

 

[KnightofAragon]

those are 3200,
you don't think i should go with ocz 4200 platinum?

 

[thehybridpyro]

read the reviews of those rams
384 of mostly 5egg reviews
and it has 2-3-2-5 timings on a 2gig kit

the pc4200 and 4400 kits have timings like 3-4-4-8 ,right around there
maybe 2.5-3-3-7 at best

PC3200 at 2-3-2-5. I wonder how well they'd overclock. If they'd hit 260 Mhz around 2.5-3-4-8 I may grab a pair...

gskill extreme HZ 2gig set is awesome ram! and its ddr500.... great rom known to go over 600mhz!!!

Ha, if you can pump the voltage into these babies. They will smoke most ddr500 dual channel ram sticks. Here the G Skill bubas

Hope this helps,

well im sure that stuff screams...but i dont think he can pump more than 3-3.3 volts into it... so hes restricted by voltage settings leaving him with the gskill extremes or the ocz platinums...

Wow. I think I just spotted my next upgrade!!!

 

[KnightofAragon]

so you guys won't go with the 4400 ocz? the reason i have been interested in it is because i read a couple reviews were they claimed it to be the fastes memory they had tested, also the life time guarantee is good up to 3.0v

it's also ddr533

 

[pbasil1]

i cant seem to find any ocz pc4400... wanna send me a link and ill let ya know what i think...

Na, I didn't really even consider going from 1 gig to 2 gigs. I still probably won't for a while, but at least now I have an idea!

 

[KnightofAragon]

[Dopin_Nuts]

I can pretty much guaruntee you nobody has hitten 300 with it. Well, maybe will super loose timings but I doubt it.

well i have looked on the site and they dont have ANY pc4400... i would say tget the ocz platinum ddr500, or the gskill ddr500 that i linked... they are both great kits and will give you plenty more room for OCin...

 

[KnightofAragon]

sorry about that dude look at the title on this post 4200 ocz that runs at 533 i confused it with the 4400 corsair. whats your opinion on the ocz 4200?

lol

 

[pbasil1]

is it platinum series? gold series? value? what series....lol

 

[KnightofAragon]

its ocz 4200 platinum ddr533. go to ocz technology.com, look in high performance, then platinum. also i googled ocz 4200 platinum reviews and found a couple sites that tested it. check it out tell me what you think . the hard part is finding a place to buy it. thats if its worth it.

is this ocz 4200 platinum ddr533 a good memory upgrade ? or would a set of high performance 3200 be my best bet? if the anwser to the first ? is yes were can i buy it?
