Clickable versions.

Anyways what do you do with your compuer, office task, gaming, etc.? Do you overclock your PC at all? These things may help decided what would be best.

Get some crucial ballistix from here <A HREF="http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Ballistix_Kits.html" target="_new">http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Ballistix_Kits.html</A> they are doing a special cristmas deal on crucial RAM here. + the ballistix range is sposed to be the best memory on the market.

I use these, and am very happy with performance Corsair TWINX1024-3200XLPRO.

the reason why i stick to corsair, is simply because i trust in thg reviews and not any others and according to this my friend http://www.tomshardware.com/firstl [...] _confirmed
corsair xl pro is the best choice for me. your review by the way, doesnt give any information if their tests are dual channeled or just one stick.
i wanna see if i can save a couple of ponds buying something very very similar. by the way im sure if yo ask people ,they will agree with me that corsair makes the best performance rams

Actually the majority of people at the moment agree that crucial ballistix is the best performance RAM. PM Crashman and ask him. anandtech is one of the most trusted web sites on the internet.
Im not saying that cosair are a bad brand at all, Im just saying if I could save £25 and get RAM that is just as good as cosair then I would do it.

Im guessing that your were asking me the question. What I am saying is that each indivdual system is sorta like each indivdual person is. They all have slightly different personalities. In my system, Crucial slightly outperformed Corsair. In yours, the outcome may be different. The only way to know for sure would be to test both of them under the same conditions. Just in case your wondering why I am using the Corsair instead of the Crucial Ram its becasue the Crucial Ram was someone elses. Remember that I am not putting Corsair down, I am just telling you what my personal experince has been. Corsair and Crucial are both very good products.

Almost forgot to add this. My corsair Ram doesnt run as stable as Crucial would at the lower timings that Crucial is rated at. I cant remember the timings but is seems like one of them was- Crucial CAS Latency 2.5 and Corsair 3. I dont remember for sure, but I think that Crucial will run slightly lower timings.

hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm, seems like you havent read this article:
http://www.tomshardware.com/firstl [...] ir-01.html
i've posted it before, corsair cl=2

Oh right, you are using a 865 so most RAM should be compatible with it. The crucial RAM will def work in dual channel mode as they sell it in dual channel kits. Crucial ballistix RAM has the same timmings as cosair I believe.

I said I didnt remember for sure. I was giving you the results that I found with my system. I just went to Corsairs web site and the timings that my memory is rated at is not 2 but 3. If you want to be be a smart_ _ _, then go right ahead and be one. I can waste my time doing something better than having you lecture me about what I have or have not read. I know what my timings are rated at, and I know what they will run stable at. Just talk to some of the other people here the way you keep talking to me and see how far it gets you.

As I said before, anandtech said that crucial ballistix had the best timmings they have ever seen.

come on now, stop arguing about which one is better and tell me which one to buy from those links

ok, cheers everyone, made my decision. crusial balli something for cheap

Good man, you wont be dissappointed. Plus the balli heat spreaders look pretty cool .

Its really not that big a deal, as long as your buying from the best manufactures, which have been mentioned here.
Use your mind, and analyze the specs and order away. The dispute you are creating is not significant in real world benchies as far as performance can be observed by the user. Download the specs and prices of the best ones you have narraowed it down to, sleep on it and you will have your answer in the morning.

Overclocking from 2.8Ghz to 3.2Ghz requirers a 33Mhz bus increase (200-233Mhz). This means that you will need PC3700 in order to be assured your RAM can take it. To behonest nowadays any good brand RAM PC3200 will be able to overclock to those speeds (in fact low latency modules are generally better overclockers than those advertised at higher speeds).
But just to be safe I would recommend getting PC4000, its not much more expensive and you are gauranteed it will work at the correct speeds.
