Hi all im about to build a new system and thought i knew a bit about computers but looking around now theres so much too choose from im stuggling too keep up with it all!
Anyway the heart of the system will be the E6600 on the EVGA nForce 680i SLi mobo with the 768MB BFG Technology 8800GTX Overclocked (may run 2 in the future) now, the problem im having is selecting the memory.
These are the two i have been looking at
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit £58.74 inc VAT
and
OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-8500 1066MHz Reaper HPC Edition Dual Channel DDR2 £123.36 inc VAT
The GeIL is cheaper and iv heard it overclocks well but is it worth buying the 680i mobo using this ram? Also i could buy 4Gig for the same price as the OCZ 2Gig, is this a better option?
The OCZ runs at 1066MHz default which is the same as the E6600 so does this mean i can overclock the system better with this ram or get a better performane? BTW i will be using it for gaming.
If anyone can shed some light on this as to which combo to use or even suggest a different ram would be much appriciated![]()
