ram stick differences

[Andeh]

my computer runs on 2 sticks of 512 ddr 400 (running at 333) ive not had any memory errors or bsod for somewhere in the reigon of a year now

no im not really planning to clock my pc, not yet anyway. and i dont think trying to clock a p4 3.0ghz xeon processor wld b a good idea? lol.

so, say if theres a corsair 512mb stick at 400, and a samsung 512mb stick at 400mhz, wld u be able to notice any difference? i want to get the best stuff i can buy.

staying roughly on the same topic, whats the best processor i can buy for about £200? ill b using it for games/movies/programming/work etc,

+ would a stick at pc4200 be any use? or shld i stick to 3200?

Well, if brand names offer you extra comfort, get the Corsair. Else get the Samsung.

If you;re going to spend > 50% of your time playing games, go with a AMD processor, else, get a Pentium4 with Hyperthreading.

If you're getting PC4200, might be a good idea to get some brand name stuff, especially since you said you won't be overclocking :P

@Andeh: I bought some Corsair PC3200 stuff, slapped it into my AMD 2600+ box, BSODs everywhere.

Did it again, same thing.

Oh, the memories =/

 

[Andeh]

lol im telling ya, try plain memory :P thats what I use and i get no problems at all. You all waste yer money on corsair crap, its just hyped up plain memory with a company name slapped on it.

What cpu do you have that you are planning to add the ram to?

TBH, ive learned if some one isnt a comp geek ddr400 ram with tight timings will offer the same performance as loose timings.

Generaly:

AMD XP loves tight timings
Intel P4 likes tight timings
AMD64 loves tight timings, in fact ddr400 2-2-2-0 is better than ddr500 3-4-4-8

im gonna go with the cpu u mentioned in the other post i think. amd 3500+ i think it was.

 

[Stonehelm]

I miss my amd i now have a p4 with HT and its great but still if i was upgrading again i would probably get an amd.

 

[Biohazard]

AMD pwnz the hell out of P4.
