Hopefully by christmas i'll be able to buy some better ram, I want to be able to overclock my cpu 400Mhz+ (right now i can only get it up 240Mhz). I also dont want to spend a fortune. What one do you think is the best for oc'in and for the price?:


OCZ 1GB 184-Pin Unbuffered DDR 400 CL3 - $107
G.SKILL Extreme Series 1GB 184-Pin Unbuffered DDR 400 CL2 - $107
CORSAIR XMS 1GB 184-Pin Unbuffered DDR 400 CL3 - $108
CORSAIR XMS 1GB 184-Pin Unbuffered DDR 400 CL2 - $122

i personally like my OCZ ram. i bought a 2gig setup and i get amazing pfs on it stock, even better when oc'ed
the timmings arent the greatest but i can tweak them better with no problems.
 
G.Skill, they overclock well and have pretty tight timings. The Corsair has equal timings, but at a higher price, and i dont think they overclock as well.

I am a huge OCZ fan as well, but their valueRAM is not so hot, and those timings are horrible, overclocking is limited unless you can step u pand spend alot more cash for a quality Gold/Platinum/Titanium kit.
 
Can you give me links? I'm also guessing that OCZ is best but I would like to see the product.

Im assuming you mean that the G.Skill Extreme is good, because i have the G.Skill value and its not so good.

i have Corsair XMS RAM. It seems to overclock just fine, I've got it running faster and at tighter timings than advertised.
 
yes, im talking about about the ocz plat.
i do recomend them. i bought 2 gig dual channel and my loading and gaming is amazing.

my fps hit a high of 136.7 earlier
 
It looks like i should get the G.Skill, but im not going to be getting it for a few weeks, so you guys can still give me feedback on the best one(s). :)
