Hit me with a RAM
Hey Guys!
New to the forum :)
Just want to ask you guys, I got about £160.00 to shell out on RAM (1 gig)
I wanna get 2 gigs giving me a total of around £320 to spend on RAM...
I just dont know which to choose????
Can someone help...?
Some say Corsair, some GEIL, some BALLISTIX, some OCZ... Im so baffled...
The board is the DFI Lanparty nf4.. processor is 4400x2..
Thanks guys!!!!

£160 for 1Gb?? If you're not totally into memory overclocking, I would just go for some Corsair VS 2GB kit.. They cost about 180 quid + deliv.. and if u stay here long enuf and provide sufficient constructive posts (no spamming thank you very much).. you're eligible for free deliv at Scan.co.uk..
Alternatively, there's always XMS Pro and the much heralded Ballistix Tracers 2GB kit.... for a premium..
-
i personally use geil value ram - £66 per 1GiB stick.
low latency memory isn't worth the added cost, if you ask me
-
Yeah, just go for a decent 2Gb kit.
Don't bother with the wizzo stuff unless you are into o/c'ing big time - it's just not worth the outlay.
-
geil value ram, £160, then get some other upgrades with the spare money
-
Hehe, Guys I will be here alright.. dont worry...
The reason I chose that stuff was to go overclocking crazy...
but yea, I dont mind paying less at all...
I mean you got exact recommendations...?
2gig is defo how much I want, but its all about which type...
I defo wanna overclock the processor but not toooo fussed if doesnt go from 2.4 to 2.4344 if u catch my drift...
Any exact recommendations? better to have 4 512's? 2 1gigs?
so and so fourth...
-
Well, no disrespect to Corsair, but DFI and Corsair RAM just don't mix.
For that motherboard I'd go for OCZ. The stuff I've got in mine were, simply put, as plug'n'play as you can get with a DFI!
Got them for 396 EUROs from http://www.pc-memory-upgrade.co.uk/

2 x 1g definately. There are less variables that way.

Crucial 2GB kit are pretty universal.. If DFI are having problems with Corsair, there's always GEIL or Kingston.. AFAIK, my 4x512MB of Microns are very very nice, runs 250MHz 2.5-3-3-10 no prob, abeit the 2T command rate.
-
Ok, I've decided.. OCZ it is...
Does anyone know which one to get now?
Like, model?
Thanks guys, really do appreciaite it..
-
Baring in mind, its not really a question of cost..
I'm willing to spend that £160 per 1gig but nonetheless, i would love to save cash...
but further nonetheless, i dont wanna get the basic basic basic ram that got shipped over with chickens in the plane ;)

Ok guys, sorry to be a pain.. i've been looking...
I think i have narrowed it down to:
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=97049
or
http://www.crucial.com/uk/ballistix/...L2KIT12864Z503
or
http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/produ...duct_uid=66676
(That one straight above is the one I am thinking of...)
Thoughts?
Sorry to trouble guys...
-
The Ballistix Z503 is dominating the WR table for 2Gb kit so if u really into ocing u might want to consider that
-
DFI work fine with Corsair, infact, the 3dmark worl record was broken using OC DFI nforce 4 sli DR board with corsair ram. It is all lies.
-
heheh, just when you guys finally convinced me that i dont need this seriously overpriced ram for SERIOUS overclocking and tight timings, you hit me with one of the best overclocking rams again!!! hehehe..!
Now you got me back to wanting 160 for a 1gig!!!
ok, i got £250 for 2gig... what u guys think...?
lead me to the path of light!!! :)
