im about to RMA my corsair platinum series XMS3200 512MB 400MHz because it was a very bad module [found over 2000 errors in 5 minutes of memtest86 ].. anyway.. my setup is in my sig and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for memory.. BTW, i will mostly be doin things like photoshop, VB, creating maps in valve hammer editor, counter-strike, and the usuals [AIM, IE, Kazaa++] thanx m8s
Well, since Corsair kinda bit you in the ass (which I feel bad about since I think I recommended it to you too ), then look at OCZ and Geil. OCZ I'd be a little more wary about, since I've heard some REALLY bad things about the company on the whole, but apparently they put together really good memory. Oh, and I remember some talk about TwinMOS sticks w/ Winbond chips, or something like that, I can't remember, but I'm sure someone else does. Oh yeah, remember to get at least PC3200 too.
i was just really confused cuz i thought memory was very rarely made bad, but i went to the www.corsairmemory.com forums and there were tons of RMA requests.. oh well.. whypick, dont feel bad, not ur fault, even bit-tech gave it their award of excellence.. i think im gonna look at some kingston and some other reviews.. more suggestions appreciated
rav, if money is no issue?! http://www.mushkin.com/epages/Mushk...b0e4231f42740c0a801050651/Product/View/990975 jesus! 512mb pc3200 for $80!! damnnn!! are they good quality?
hopefully it is the memory, not that i have the wrong thing for my setup or have it on too much voltage or wrong timings or w.e, but it shud be right voltage because i left the defaults
That's the cheap stuff btw I've never used mushkin, but they have a good rep from the people i've talked to. The "good" stuff if the Black Stuff or if you want duall channel, click here.
I've been using Mushkin Black DDR II ram for a while now, I bought a matched pair of 512Mb PC3200, and it's superior by a long way to any of the budget stuff I've used before. Highly recommended.
I've got some twinmos stuff at the moment (1 stick of 256) with winbond chips. I was going to order another stick of the same but the only place I can find it is Komplett and I had a bad experience with them last time so I don't think i will be ordering from them again. It is very nice memory though, nice and quick, I haven't tried overclocking the memory yet (I've got the processor overclocked because of different fsb requirements!) I just need another stick now!
I'd stick with the Corsair personally as memory from any source can be faulty and at least corsair provide a really good warranty and the memory is usually excellent!
I just got a single 256mg stick of the Geil DDR3200 with the blue aluminum heatspreader and it's pretty awesome for the price...it was something like $40 at newegg. great value, I'm probably going to get another stick soon
just got some PNY 512mb DDR400 pc3200 will have it checked out within a few days.. ahh i get on a plane to move to london in like 17 hours im gonna miss the states, but ill be happy to live at BTs home
Hahaha, the joke's on you!
