RAM Ding, Which of the following...
Hi all.
I have an Asus P5k-E board (P31 i believe) I have a choice of two chips Q6600 and a E8600. I do like to mess with the over clocks.
I have these items in my home now and need to get some new RAM. I would appreciate your opinions on the following.
Buffalo FireStix Heat 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 CAS 5-5-5-15 Timings, 2.0-2.2v VDIMM
G.Skill PK Series 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 CAS 5-5-5-15 Timings, 2.0-2.1v
Corsair XMS2 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 CAS 5-5-5-15 Timings, 2.0-2.2v
Slightly more Expensive but same timings
Corsair Dominator 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5CAS 5-5-5-15 Timings, 2.1-2.3v

Go with the cheapest kit as you'll want RAM speed quite low if your going to overclock, more so with the Q6600 - They all do 1066MHz as well so you know that the RAM won't be a factor then.

Thanks, basically i ordered the firestix, they looked interesting with some good reports and a good price. after 2 weeks they have not turned up, i contacted them and they offered me a replacement at the same price. i choose the G.Skill in the end.
i cant find any reviews on them but fingers crossed.
