Which memory should I get?

Zangetsu · 12-15-2007, 10:06 PM

This topic became a bit off-topic, so I decided to make an extra topic about it.

So, the question is. Shall I go for the €49 GEIL 2x1GB PC6400 4-4-4-12 2.1V or the €49 OCZ 2x1GB PC6400 5-5-5-12 2V.
And please add why. Thanks!

OCZ, Because I've had a really good time overclocking with it. Also the timings may be better on GEIL but the OCZ has a lower voltage which leaves more overclocking.

What do you mean by overclock? The Frequency? But my mobo can just handle 800MHz, so I can't go higher. And if I overclock, won't my frequency go lower?
