Bestest RAM for £150? (1gig)

[skuzgib]

Hi guys,
I'm planning an A64 s939 rig, but could someone advise me on 1 gig of decent ram?
The cpu will be a 3000+, so I'd like some moderately overclockable stuff.
I have a budget of £150, though at a push I may be able to spend a tad more...

Cheers!

if you can get to £185 you can get this: http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/product?product=603202

or http://www.crucial.com/uk/ballistix/...SPN=BL6464Z402

for £160, and less if you use the 4% discount for buying more than one stick

Overclocker are doing it at just below £174 for the pair (inc VAT) when I looked yesterday. Dabs may be even cheaper, they were cheapest a few weeks ago when I did a look around everyone.

www.overclock.co.uk do some high-speed Kingmax memory in 1GB configurations very cheaply... got top marks in Custom PC magazine too

[skuzgib]

Hmmm... that kingmax stuff looks promising. Anyone had any experiance with it?

Do i really have to spend so much on RAM?

Is the difference between crucial ram and the super dooper stuff just even 1 frame per second?

I was thinking of just going for Geil value

Geil value will be fine if you are not overclocking - i.e. running it at 200mhz. It'll prolly overclock a tad, but not much. I have heard people getting 220 with it tho.

[Marcos]

I plan no overclocking

[skuzgib]

Then geil value, corsair value, or any other "value" should be ok.

Go with Patriot ram from HERE
I'm using the same stuff in my rig and am very happy with it. read some reviews on it and its nnly about 2%, if that slower than the Corsair equiverlant

[Marcos]

So this one?

Not much cheaper than the Geil value:

What am i supposed to be looking at? It will be going into an AN95G5

I would just go for the crucial, i've got a gig and its fine with not overclocking and remember crucial have great customer service

[Marcos]

Is crucial better than geil?

You wouldn't notice much difference, but you order directly from crucial and they have great customer service

skuzgib, if you go Patriot you ideally want the XBLK@£165 (TCCD on brainpower pcb).
or ebuyer have 2x 512Mb Corsair 3200XL (TCCD again) for £164

[Marcos]

I think i'll go for that, i like crucial
