What motherboard you going to be using mate?

 

Have a look at the buyer's guide - that's what it's there for.

and thanks krikkit i'll have a look at the buyers guide. but any other help would be great

 

Asking only for RAM or are there other questions?

so that we don't make out an endless thread...of discussion..

 

Are you overclocking?

If not, then slower RAM will be fine, and cheaper.

For example, this stuff would be fine, I should think:

hi, yeah my plan is to overclock

oh and @kyocera, yep just asking about ram

is this any good for overclocking?

'Tis fine.

 

This would be my choice.

 

awesome...thanks for the help guys!

 

i usually just buy whichever ram has the prettiest heatspreaders. it's worked out well for me so far.

 

loool

 

Oooh, SHINY!!!!!


RAM speed generally makes less than 1% difference in performance once you have the right amount. As stated earlier, for overclocking you do want good ram but otherwise it doesn't matter much at all.

If you do buy more expensive RAM it isn't guaranteed at that speed on all motherboards anyway as I sadly seem to be discovering.

 

will take that to note when i buy my ram

 

thanks for the help guys, bought my ram today! woop!
