    need some 200fsb ram for my sn45g but don't want to spend a fortune atm...

    would you go for 2 of these:

    TwinMOS PC3200 DDR-DIMM 256MB w/Winbond
    - 32M*8/16chip, 184-P (for DDR-PC400MHz) 7
    stocked £28.20

    from komplett

    or these

    Geil Value 256MB DDR PC3200 400MHz + Alum. heat spreader - Stocked £27.03
    http://www.microdirect.co.uk/default2.asp

    Go for the twinmoss, as winbond make good chips. Also people have had bad experiences with Geil.

    I can't say from personal experience, but the other thread about TwinMOS seems to highlight that nearly everybody thinks it's pretty good stuff!

    What do we think of Twinmos?

    If cars had followed the same developmental path as computers, a Rolls Royce would cost £60, get a million miles per gallon and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.

    Most people seem to prefer the twinmoss>Geil.
    Also, I have heard of people having problems with Microdirect before (although when I ordered they were ok)

    I run 2x256 pc3200 twinmoss at 200fsb easily can do more but i don't need more for the time being . So i would go with the twinmoss better value for money.
