[Karl|Neo]

Hi, I'm building an A64 rig for a friend and I need some advice on ram, ive got around £160 to budget for it and he wants a gig, have any of you guys got any suggestions waht to buy? Thanx

you can get two 512Mb pc3200 sticks of twinmos twister for that price exactly (well, £158ish, to be a little more precise)...but seemingly no-one has it in stock...next products up there are (of course) Corsair and OCz options.

Cheapest I can find corsair pc3200 is £83ish per 512Mb stick for the older (but still excellent) XMS (non of the low-latency-silvery-pro-woo-LEDs-stuff) at aria.

Having a quick flick around, ebuyer also have 1gb of PC4000
here

for a lot less - suspect this is an ebuyer error though...there's a couple of other things on ebuyer that look wrong - matched pairs of pc3200 corsair tend to start from £185ish elsewhere, 4 in stock at komplett.

hth, hand.

overpriced for what it is - get some twinmos and save a bundle if you want value for money - could never buy premium RAM myself, think the bang for buck ratio gets too damn silly unless you're clocking a P4 to buggery and back.
