Decisions on memory for overclocking.

[coverfire]

Should I go with Patriot Viper 2x2gig or Crucial Ballistix 2x2gig, both have 4-4-4-12 timings DDR2 800. Wondering which would be best for overclocking or if anyone has experience with either.

IMHO, Crucial Ballistix would be the better choice...

I would think so too.

corsair have reputation will good quality and high overclockable ram.but these year or so they have been lacking behind.and the ballistix have very high reputation for that series.they can overclock to 1100mhz+

3 for ballistix works for me, thanks all.

 

[iluvgillgill]

let us know how much you overclock them after you got it.because im thinking of upgrading to a pair of ballistix as well

I thought the ballistix weren't as good anymore. Something about being double sided and not havening the D9 chips.

the ballistix 1066 is gd and have very very good reputation for overclock beyond 1100mhz.but im not sure about the 800mhz one though.

The Ballistix 2GB chips are high density, double sided. But according to this site, they are still using the D9 chips. I have it, but I haven't overclocked it just yet. Still getting my CPU to top levels.
