Hello can anyone recommend me a good 4 gb kit of ddr2 ram (800mhz, 2x2gb sticks) out of these the ocz new reaper model looks quite good and even the corsair looks ok. the 8gb is tempting me (cant resisit...) any thoughts
The bottom 3 look reasonable. Is there any point in 8GB?? Corect me if i'm wrong, bit i read that vista will only support up to 4GB =]
get the reaper X also they do it in 1000mhz arround £115-£135 i think as for 8gb make sure your mobo can run it, i no lots say they do, but its alot of strain on your north bridge and memory controler
jokin bout 8 gb no way i would need 8gb the reaper x does look goob but are they reliable i know corsair are thats why i may choose them
Why should he get 1ghz memory? Reaper stuff is a rip off anyway. Try this kit: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-019-GS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=813 Low voltage, should be great overclockers.
the reason for the Reaper X 800 is low latency 4-4-3-15 2T and the Reaper X 1000 will do 1066-1100 easy, i have it in another rig, @1125mhz 5-5-5-18-2T it makes enough of a difference to get and there is no mention of budget!
agreed. i think this offer may be a better option. lower voltage and i think it's a micron d9 ic. i personally not fond of XMS 'cause it felt like budget ram with heatspreader on it. the ICs changes too often and the version number is not stated during purchase.
That is the same kit I picked up. I run it at 1000MHz 5-5-5-15 2T. With extra voltage, I've run it at 900MHz 4-3-4-12 2T. I'm sure I can push it more, I didn't take the spreaders off, but from what I've read they're D9 IC's.
Would you recommend this over a PC2 8500+ module ? What kind of RAM should I get if I want to reach 3.6 GHz on a Q6600 Q0 ?
If you're looking for high-density kits like these, you're probably seeking raw capacity over bandwidth. PC6400 kits seem perfectly fine to me. G.Skill and some Mushkin 1.8v 4GB kits are a good buy.
