Help with choosing RAM

Drai · May 24, 2014

Hello friends, I just need a little help finding the best and fastest RAM for my Asus MB.
Here it is Asus p5g41t-m lx2/gb, It's not the best for gaming I know but It stays strong wile I'm on Arma 3.

The Asus website states what RAM I need but I'm a noob at this stuff so any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

You could try these RAMs - http://www.corsair.com/en/vengeance-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz8gx3m2a1600c8
They are ideal for gaming and your motherboard supports 1600MHz Ram Bus speed. So it would be good. I personally use them and they seem to get my works done so yea, hope I helped. Don't forget to rate the best answer xD

Hi siam672 thanks for your reply, I don't have enough money for 8gb at the moment so 4gb will have to do.

is it still too expensive? you will most probably need to underclock them, depending your cpu!

Hi chris987, yeah too expensive, I'm looking to spend around £30.
I'm looking to get 4gb for now so maybe 2x 2gb sticks would be fine?
my CPU is intel pentium 4 core 2 duo
Thanks

Drai :

here you go

Memory: GeIL Value PLUS 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory (£28.89 @ Overclockers.co.uk)
Total: £28.89
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

i suppose you have a core 2 duo , so if after the installation you have trouble running them, go into bios and set manually
1066/1333MHZ 9 9 9 28 CL timings 1.5v

What is your opinion on this RAM chris, I decided to go with kingston instead of the one posted.
It's in my price range too, Will it fit my pc?

Thanks
Dan

Drai :

that is 2gb. are you planning of getting two of them? it has the same specs as the geil but at 1.65v they are ok and stated as new. generally i wouldnt prefer buying pc parts from ebay.

Drai · May 24, 2014

Yes mate I'm planning on getting 2 of them, I've had kingston In the past and loved it.
Just depends if they work in my pc.
Also most of my parts are 2nd hand from ebay and not had any problems in years
