Cant decide on RAM for an Asus P5K Deluxe & E6850 based system.
I have it narrowed down to the following RAM as I can get them cheap
4GB Ballistix Tracer DDR2 PC2-8500 5-5-5-15
or
4GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-8000 Titanium Alpha VX2 4-4-4-15 LINK
all advice is welcome
Id go with the ballistix is very good RAM.
The OCZ is slower but has tighter timings.. I doubt you would see much difference between the two.
Another for the Ballistix, much easier/quicker RMA if it goes wrong.
How much of a performance difference is there between the two? and which set will give me the best OC
I don't think you will overclock passed either of their stock speeds but the ballstix will be better as it pc8500 not pc8000 like the ocz
You would never notice the difference.Quote:

Ballistix it is then, should be with me tomorrow.
Thanx for your help guys.
Quick question, are the Ballistix Micron D9? I know the OCZ are
They certainly are, Crucial are owned by Micron too, so seems they have the very best D9s in the PC8500:) What have you ordered?
thanx for that mate:)Quote:
