Hey guys...first of all, I'd like to say that I love this site and you guys are my kinda people. I've been trolling these forums for quite some time now and I think its time to break the chain of silence...

I'm looking for some RAM...I'm a gamer and I was wondering if the OCZ SLI READY sticks would be the best way to go (of course I would buy the ASUS STRIKER EXTREME mobo to maximize the features)?
 
If you are planning to OC at all then going with performance memory with fast timings will be a start. OCZ is one of the top brands being referred to as a premium brand. A few others like Corsair xms series memory, Kingston HyperX, for older Asus boards Mushkin has a good rep too. Crucial is another one that qualifies. Some have seen problems on occasion running OCZ memory on Asus boards. But I also have to wonder how they ran it there?
 
You going to overclock or do extreme gaming?

Currently I play WoW, but I do alot of other things like programming and recording music. I just want the baddest machine possible, but mainly for gaming. :cool: So having said that, maybe you could suggest some mobo/cpu/ram/gpu possibilities for me(maybe thats for another thread tho...idk). I picked the striker extreme cuz it looked the answer to all my needs(FAST AS HELL).

BTW>>>Someone said OCZ ram doesn't work well with ASUS boards? Well that's something we need to discuss I suppose....please advise on that.
 
I'm currently running 2gb of Kingston Value Ram on a system where it commonly sees video captures as well as playing multimedia and watching a dvd at times along with the usual gaming. The games run at high settings at 1280x1024 for a screen reesolution. No problems seen with value ram so why think any good brand of performance memory won't work.

The problems some had with OCZ seems more likely problems they created since others run OCZ on their Asus boards trouble free. They probably goofed up something else and decided to point fingers at one brand.
 
I will probably go with corsair or crucial. Whichever one is better for gaming I suppose. So does anyone not have any thing "good" or "bad" to say about the OCZ sli ready ram? I'm very curious about it. Anyone ever tried it?
 
Posting a link for the particular memory you have been looking at would help a little on that. The OCZ brand as mentioned before is a premium brand not any cheap crap to put in a system. The important thing to remember is choosing the type of memory for the application.
