12 Computers For Christmas
Memory choices for an ASUS P5WDG2 WS Pro mobo running an e6600 conroe: Choice 1: (I am leaning toward choice 1) Patriot 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) 5-5-5-9 at 2.3V $490 Can get it right now. Choice 2: G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) 4-4-4-5 at 2.4V $500 or more. Might be weeks or more before I could get. Choice 3: Corsair XMS2 DOMINATOR 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2-1066 (PC2-8500) 4-4-4-12 at 2.4V $600 or more. Might be weeks or more before I could get. I am thinking I will just pull the trigger on the Patriot. What do other people think?
Since you can get 2x1GB DDR2-800 4-4-4 2.2V Ballistix RAM for $200 AR, why spend 2.5x money for, at best, only a small percentage improvement?
