Best memory for Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe
I've searched around but cannot find a definitive answer to a problem. There seem to be two big players in the memory arena: Crucail and Corsair. They have their own 'configurators' in which you put in the spec of your hardware and they'll come up with the best recommended memory (usually quite expensive, funnily enough!).
Many retailers also use these configuration engines (eg. Scan promote Corsair, others promote Crucial).
I'm now looking at an Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe motherboard and the Scan/Corsair memory configurator comes up with (highest performance):
- 1 Gb (2 x 512 Mb) Corsair TwinX-XL, DDR, PC3200XLPT, Cas 2 = £182.11
The Crucial configurator (on crucial.com/uk) comes up with loads of options, the 'most popular' one is:
- CT6464Z40B 512MB DDR PC3200, CL=3, UNBUFFERED, NON-ECC, DDR400, 2.6V, 64Meg x 64 = £49.34 x 2 = £98.68 for 1GB
The crucial site does have lots of other (more expensive) options including Ballistix modules.
Anyway, is it worth spending the extra. I do want to overclock but not to extreme levels.
