I recently am getting ready for crysis (aka upgrading video card and ram and psu), and I wanted a good reliable ram. Currently, I have wintec ampX ddr2 800 pc6400. Just one gb of that. I was thinking mushkin, because of the quality. I am running it at 2.9v and if I am correct, I can change the voltage. Is higher V better? So what kindof ram should I get (for crysis)?
