Corsair PC2 6400: Dominator or XMS2

[fyak1]

Hi all,

Am waiting on an Asus P5N32 Sli Plus and C2D E6700 and need to get some memory.

Having attempted to learn the ins and outs of memory modules via the web I am none the wiser, my head is hurting, and I feel out of my depth, just like it did in mathematics lessons at school!

At present I am looking at two 2x1gb Corsair options: TwinX XMS2 Dominator and the basic TwinX XMS2, both PC2-6400 4-4-4-12.

What I want to know is whether it's worth spending the extra £25 on the Dominator over the standard XMS2, taking into account that it is unlikely I will overclock.

Thanks

No replies now, thanks. Decided the Dominator is overkill.

Good decision.

Good decision.

Second that... I believe there the same memory except the Dominator has better heat speaders.

I also use the XMS2 4 4 4 4 12 and there also great for overclocking. I'm pretty happy with the results.

Sorry for the slow reply, been busy elsewhere. If you chose the PC6400C4 (non-Dominator) it's a very solid choice and they are dirt cheap these days.

Many thanks!

Hi



You can purchase F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ. It is micron guaranteed.



Thank you

Hello,



My name is Mike, and I have been using your products for some time. I have read a review on neweggs website that says this product of Gskill uses Micron D9 chips.

My friend just bought Corsair DDR2 6400C4 2gig kit of memory and thought he was getting D9's, but got PROMOS chips insted. I would like to buy a good pair of DDR2 with D9 chips that have

"alot of headroom", oh and that "don't cost alot". Your recommendation would be greatly appreciated.



Thank You
