Help, I can't decid.

Postby DL13 » Tue Jun 02, 2009 11:21 pm

Hi
Well, I thought I decided on the ram to get, but I didn't. It looks like I just might have a little extra cash to spend on ram, so I started to look at Mushkin, I like the timing on them, and I was wandering if some one uses it here on LR or knows some one? So basically I would like to now if they are worth the money? I have bin looking at G-Sill, OCZ too.

I got G Skill Pi series and they use very low voltage, I'm running my 4 times 2 GB DDR2 at 1100 Mhz with 1.95 V. But they don't overclock very good even with a lot of voltage.

Hi
Thanks for the response guys. That's why I'm looking at OCZ and G-skill I heard a lot of good things about them, they run strong and perform good.

I might just do that or put the names in a hat and pick one.

Brands are brands, trademarks to pull us into the "cool" factor. I wanted G*Skill but ended with Mushkin my first kit, but only because it had Micron D-9 chips in them, which were/are very capable of overclocking bliss.

Go with the lower priced of the two, honestly. Ram is ram is ram, if you aren't planning on overclocking it then it doesn't matter.

That's true, I have bin thinking do I rely need 6GB and not rely. I am still looking though, I am looking at a set of OCZ Platinum AMD Edition 4GB kit and a set of Mushkin XP 4GB kit now.

I am planning on overclocking.
