can anyone recomend me a good single modual that will work well with this. am looking to spen around £50 mark.

As you've got 512 Mb of corsair already installed it would be a good idea to get the same type of memory from any corsair retailer as mixing modules may affect stability.

cheers for the reply,

thats what i thought. but i can't seam to find a single module of the matched pair i have.

anyone know where i could get one from.

thank you.

Which memory do you have installed ?

Once I have that information I'll be able to assist more

[chris123]

hi,

if you follow the link on the 1st post it should take you to an ebuyer page with it on.

however if the link is down it is Corsair DDR400 / PC3200, non-ECC, Unbuffered, CL2.5.

thanks for the help.

512 Mb Corsair Value Select will be fine as they all have the same timings

Are you sure? I though there were two types - one with a CAS latency of 3, and one with a CAS latency of 2.5?

CAS2.5: http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/product?product=603102

yea i saw this, but didn't know the timings. i've done a quick google on it and i think it is the 2.5 version.

does any one know this to be right.

Cheers for all the help.

Its labelled as 3 but can run @ 2.5

Most of my work collegues that have Corsair VS ram all run it at CAS 2.5 on a variety of systems.

Hope this explains the above comparisons

Ah, found the answer: http://www.corsairmemory.com/corsair/valueselect.html

Corsair produces two different versions, just to confuse us

As for this RAM:http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=48122, the fact that it doesn't have C3 on the end of the product code means that it should be CL2.5.

Hope this helps
