Why don't you get a matching set of what you already have?

 

[Mndlfox]

I want faster then ddr400 ram...I think it will help to oc this 3.4

 

[Thumper]

I'm partial to Corsair myself, but I haven't heard anything bad about Patriot.....

 

[Zardokk]

I'd go with the Corsair.

 

[fiendofmine]

get ddr500 it doesnt have nearly as ****ty timings

Both use TCCD so it's up to you... but if you ask me they're both overpriced.

take a look at g.skill or OCZ platinum rev. 2. even though they are both rated at DDR400 they'll clock to about DDR600 without a hitch.

my OCZ platinum rev. 2 will do
DDR400 @ 2-2-2-5
DDR500 @ 2.5-3-3-7
DDR600 @ 2.5-4-4-8
DDR640 @ 2.5-4-4-8

I too would not purchase either.
Instead check out..this..G.SKILL 2x512Mb DDR400 2-2-2-5 for USD$139.50

or for some good TCCD

Try the CORSAIR XMS TWINX1024 3200XL..here..for USD$199.00 and..this..OCZ EL PlATINUM rev2 for USD$165.00 (just make sure they have TCCD not TCC5 IC modules)

cheers

I wouldn't get the Corsair 3200XL. it's overpriced and even though it uses TCCD, the corsair modules typically don't perform as well as OCZ or g.skill TCCD.

OCZ platinum rev. 2
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146890

And you're safe buying OCZ platinum rev. 2 as OCZ hasn't put TCC5 chips in since August so unless you buy from a place that has had them sitting on the shelf since summer you'll get TCCD.

if you want the best TCCD you can get then go for some g.skill or OCZ Platinum pc4800.

g.skill DDR550 TCCD

g.skill DDR600 TCCD
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231014
g.skill also has some good DDR400 TCCD chips, but it looks like newegg doesn't have them at the moment.

although, have you thought about getting some quality 1gb sticks?
