| RAM - Corsair Value or Twinmos? I should be getting a couple of sticks of 256mb PC3200 RAM, so should I go for Twinmos or Corsair Value (Normal Corsair is a bit too expensive for me).

| Also, will it help with my overclocking? I have old, slow memory, and when i try to increase the fsb (1800+ thoroughbred at 166fsb) it just beeps at me, doesn't even go to BIOS screen, so i have to reset the BIOS..

| well if your 1800 is unlocked then you'll want to put your fsb and ram speeds to 400 and drop your multiplier to ?8? to get full benefit of the ram with default cpu speed. well 1.6ghz. You can then o/c your fsb / multi from there dude F Do you think when Jesus comes back..... he ever wants to see another cross.......? *{God bless you Bill} .::24/7 TorrentBox and Media Streamer::.

| The dual pack has Twinmos chips rather than Winbond. Winbond chips are higher quality and will allow tighter timings and better overclockability  .http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?a...rpID=9&cks=PRL |

| Thanks, I'll get the Winbond chips then, although it is exactly the same price as the ones I posted if I get two (well, 1p off..) "Well, there was your Uncle Tiberius who died wrapped in cabbage leaves but we assumed that was a freak accident." |
