New Ram. Is this any good?

Re: New Ram. Is this any good?

It is best to look at what you are doing with your computer for preformance, now for gaming lower timings would be best, now for encoding video and such more memory bandwidth would be best. Not to mention the fact "smoking fast" is an opinion and is diffrent per person.

I strive for high preformance on gaming for some of my machines, and you can notice the 1-3% preformance if you use the machine enough and have gone from value ram to preformance ram.

This is my opinion, if you don't like it tough not like you have to follow it or like it.

Don't worry, I'm not going to live by your opinion.

I AM talking about gaming. Let's put it this way.

I have 2 computers with the exact same setup. One has 2GB of Crucial Value, the other, 2GB of PDP "Low Timing" Ram. My machine, with the Crucial, is FASTER than the PDP.

Timings mean zip, in all honesty. It's the MHz that is the deciding factor. But, as good ol' Burger King says - Have it your way . . .

Re: New Ram. Is this any good?

Due to many problems with my computer runngy games the builder is getting me new parts. Good thing i didn't get the ram yet because the new board has a diffrent type. Which ones better out of these two? Im getting to of whatever ones better to=2gb.

I was thinking mabye this because it was gold editon and mabye theyd add better features. But the last timing number is an 8. I thought the lower the better.

Mabye this because of low price.

Or if you have any better segestions of the same type of ram for under 130 a stick of 1gb.

That's good ram, cause it's DDR2 PC4200, and higher the PCxxxx numbers, the higher the timings are. If you see all the PC4200 DDR2 memory, 3-3-3-8 are some pretty good timings. SO you should get that. ANd BTW, are you getting a comp with an intel processor?

Re: New Ram. Is this any good?

it is good, I've had 1 stick of 1 gig for 3 months now and works fine, and funny thing is I just bought a second 1 gig stick today to make sure BF2 runs as smooth as possible.
I dont know about overclocking issues since my pc is not overclocked.

Re: New Ram. Is this any good?

Don't go with intel, amd is superior in almost every way.

Re: New Ram. Is this any good?

I cant. I have amd now and it wont work right for games. Thats why im getting this new stuff.

AMD Athlon 64 2800+

Well, i dunno then, i havn't had any trouble with games with my CPU. Are you sure it's not ur GPU (vid card) cause i only have problems in games when i put my vid card OC too high (actually only for BF2, cause it's not OC friendly at all.)

[Master Cheif]

Re: New Ram. Is this any good?

Even if it is the vid card im getting a new one anyway. And the one I have now is not OC'd. I don't OC anything.

Is this a desktop? The Athlon 64 2800+ is a mobile processor.

Re: New Ram. Is this any good?

I found some other ram that I am concidering. Should I get this instead?
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...tCode=85002-32 If this is better I will get 2 of these to get 4gb. Is it better or worse thand the OCZ Gold listed before?
