Klesk4000 Senior Member Posts: 2857 Joined: 01/02/2004	I need new ram. I have narrowed it down to (512mb PC3200) Corsair XMS Xtra Low lat. 2-2-2-5' ">http://www.newegg.com/app/View...tion=20-145-521&depa=0 OCZ Enhanced Latency Series 2-3-2-5' ">http://www.newegg.com/app/View...tion=20-146-889&depa=0 I decided against ballistix because I want to do it through newegg. That leaves about 110 for other stuff. I was thinking A 37gb raptor. Or an XP-120. I have no idea, but I think you all can throw something at me. Thanks for helping. ------------------------- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ \|\| Temp Biostar 939 \|\| Sapphire X1800XT 512mb\|\| 1.5GB OCZ \|\| SB Audigy Platinum eX \|\| 500w 34amps Aspire PSU Klesk

OCZ! but, overclocking OCZ definitely has the edge. And that's whats its all about, not low CAS timings, but how far you can take it. ------------------------- --======== proud owner of new razor tarantula gaming keyboard ========--

SLaY3r Senior Member Posts: 3793 Joined: 03/17/2004	Yeah that OCZ RAM looks good. I aswell would get the Plat. Rev. 2. Well IMO if you have a good enough hard drive as it is right now, I would go w/ the XP-120. 0_o ------------------------- The opinions expressed above do not represent those of AMD, OCZ, or ATI "bv, if Mormons were real, you'd be one" - SDA

Klesk4000 Senior Member Posts: 2857 Joined: 01/02/2004	Im actually now reconsidering Ballistix. Im confusing myself. Can PC4000 Ballistix @ 2.5-3-3-8 be lowered to 2-2-2-5 while at PC3200? I guess it could go the other way around too? ------------------------- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ \|\| Temp Biostar 939 \|\| Sapphire X1800XT 512mb\|\| 1.5GB OCZ \|\| SB Audigy Platinum eX \|\| 500w 34amps Aspire PSU Klesk
