Remember when putting in ram to always buy the same brand you have inside your system. Dont buy two different types of memory brands and whack them in. And stick to the same speed. Otherwise your system has chances of acting like a retard.

I meant that if you have 1 memory stick thats a 2700, dont stick in another thats 3200. Stay the same as the 2700 otherwise replace that one if you want faster ram.

I'm in happy mode status. I plan to change that to upgrading status once I test the full release of HL2.
2.1gig AMD Ti4400geforce 512b 2700ram SBLive 5.1 digital. Thats the important stuff. I'l be tossing in a 2.6 in a few months depending. And the card will zoom to either a 9700pro or 9800pro. Hopefully 9800pro. For now all games seem to run very well indeed with either full or almost full effects. |

Do you plan on upgrading the Ram, or does 2700 work well enough. Cuz if it does then ill just get it instead of the 3200 which is like $40 more.

i'm not exactly sure but i have dual channel
if you get it make sure you set it up right for example i have 4 slots a b c d 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 say those are the slots for my dual channel to work properly i have to use A and then C if i have 2 dimms. check your mobo thing about it. but i think dual channel ram is kickass ;) i dont know anything about overclocked ram

Dual and overclocked scare me. Just buy normal ram and stuff them in. I grabbed 2700 cause my board can only go that high for now. Once I upgrade, in a few months, to a 2.6gig cpu which is the highest my board can handle, then I'll upgrade the board end of next year. Then I'll get faster ram. Though when I jumped from 2100 to 2700, I swear I didn't see much of a change. I'm sure theres SOMETHING. But 3200 would show more. It depends. If you're short of cash, 2700 all the way.

I think ill get overclocked then, its almost the same price as the normal stuff. Its the dual stuff thats super expensive.
What is the difference between CL3A, CL3, and CL2.5. And what does it mean when it says (3-3-3)? And then theres non-ECC and ECC. bah, thers all kinds of different types. What the hell is hyperx? how are all these different?. ![]()

ecc is error correction.
dont be afraid of dual channel.. other than the price my ram was 300$ total. the only thing i saw was LL and CL all that is brand specific i guess but for corsair xms i forget which but i one is better than the other.
