What RAM to buy ?

Postby chuckcrc » Mon Apr 10, 2006 12:33 am

I am now at the stage with my new system upgrade where I want to get some high spec ram so I can o/clock the San diago AMD64 cpu that I have.

What do you suggest.

Thanks

Corsair XMS, OCZ Gold or Platnum series kits. 1GB or more, and low latancy. 2-2-2-5 is prefered, however 2-3-3-6 is the highest you should look at. Those will both provide very nice stable platforms

You can o/c the Sandy without high spec ram, but it's more flexible if you have decent stuff.
