Which RAM is better for my system?

Posted by: Compaq

Hi I am just wondering which would run better in my wifes system. It consists of a AMD64 3000+, MSI K8N Neo Platinum Nforce3, GeForce 5700 Ultra, and a 200GB Maxtor IDE 7200rpm 8mb buffer. I am looking at these kits here.

If this does not work let me know I will list them myself. Thank you for any opinions you may have. I am not looking to overclock much just want a stable RAM that will run in this system. It seems to be slow but that is a whole other issue with the HDD I think! LOL I wish I would have had the guts to use a SATA drive. I just built a system for the wifes mom that blows anything away that I have built yet, and it uses a SATA drive. Thanks, Jesse

Forget PQI and the Mushkins. The OCZ or the Hyper X would be the best ones. Othervice this is great RAM, that I use myself in my second PCI E rig.


G.SKILL 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory - Retail $89.99

As that MSI mobo supports 2 X SATA 150. Why not give it a try?

if youre not going to overclock, i would suggest you get the cheapest ram (compatable of course) that kingston offers. really no need to spend money on overclocking ram if youre not going to do it.

Cool thank you for the replies. I also forgot to mention that I wanted something better than the cheapest so that I can overclock if I feel. I will also probabally upgrade to a 939 board and run dual channel. This is the reason I picked 1gb dual channel kits. This way if I do upgrade all I will need is a motherboard, processor, and SATA HDD. Thanks for your answers and I think I am going to go with the Kingston Hyper X.
