I'm going to buy some RAM from newegg today to finish off a new build of a

e6600
Evga 680i mobo
Evga 8800gtx

Price is not to much of a concern buy getting the best bang for my buck is. In other words I don't want to throw $100-200 extra just to get a 2% gain over a $300 kit. so lets say no more than $350 for the kit.

Nice ram : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146563

I got my team group stuff up to 600mhz the other day, its some of the best ram out there imo. Another guy on the ncix forum got his to 600mhz as well.
I think tank guys carries this kit.

 

[Baran]

OK Enterprise you are very well respected I trust you. even if you had another $50 to spend you would still buy this ram above anything else?

 

[ENTERPRISE]

I cant say ive ever Heard of Team group....Budget company ?

The RAM Ive shown would give you alot of headroom to play with for an overclock...Dont trust me fully Wiat for another opinion matey.

 

[Dman]

Nope ethiusiast like Geil, they made a custom set for Victor Wang lol, you are guarrenteed to get micron d9's with that kit.

No Some Highend 2gb Kit will be fine.

4gb Is overkill ..Only need that if you run a server or Cad and graphial rendering.

 

[Baran]

Think i'm going to go with the The Crucial posted by ENTERPRISE but is it worth the cost to get 2 kits and run 4gb. I know on my asus when i ran 4gb it actuly slowed it down...a little.

 

[Baran]

ok cool! Thanks guys

 

[ENTERPRISE]

4GB 4 x 1gb memory Modules can be stressful to run and utilize at any one time...Most likely for the cause of your slowdown...Good luck with your RAM.

 

[Baran]

is this something I should be looking for. - EPP (Enhanced Performance Profiles) and also SLI certified - I do plan on doing sli 8800's at some point in the furture

 

[boredom]

No, EPP is just gimmick as is the whole "SLI certified" crap

 

[xTREME X55X]

You should get DDR2 800(PC2-6400) and about 2GB of it. Thats what I would do cuz i'm a gamer.

 

[noxious89123]

Why are people buying the eVGA i680?

If you want the i680 chipset, buy the Asus Striker. Its a far better overclocker.

The reason is that it is the only chipset that gets you ready for the future.

 

[uberjon]

get the super talent ddr2-800 4-4-3-8

i have had them up to 1125 or so at 5-5-5-10

with 2.25 volts

thats better than those cruicial ram posted by enterprise.

and cheaper too

im sure if i put 2.3-2.35 into these sticks that they could do alot higher

but im a coward

 

[Baran]

I can afford these but is the heat sink worth it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145043

What do you think?
