Memory Choice for OCing e6600

[johnaintdoe]

Hi everyone, im a stranger cause i just joined today...

Im getting a new pc sometime soon and im wondering what memory i should get. like 100USD/GB. Im considering the

Mushkin eXtreme Preformance 2GB (1GBx2) DDR2-667 (HP2-5300? PC2-5300, right?)

or the
OCZ Technology 2GB PC2-6400 DDR DIMM Memory Kit

ANY recommendation of other momory stix would help too.

Thx

Whats your Mobo?

I know I am looking at getting two of the eXtreme performance 1GB XP2-6400 modules with 4-4-3-10 latency and 1.9-2.1V. I guess I would recommend getting at least 6400/DDR2-800 modules to go with Conroe as the i965 chipset officially supports it and the 975X will also run at those speeds.

OCZ is having alot of compatability issues with some of the more popular motherboards. I'd stick to Corsair personally for the time being. They seem to be more reliable out of the box without much toying around.

This Ram is awesome for ocing.

Its really going to depend on the mobo more than the chip I'd say but alot of folks are using GSkill & Corsair 6400/DDR2-800 sticks. Lot of folks are having issues with OCZ RAM on these newer mobos. Which mobo are you planning to use?

 

[johnaintdoe]

im getting a P5W DH Deluxe.

I hear "Team Group" is where it's at for OC'd memory these days?

I'm not into OCing, I just run Mushkin Blue .

Lot of P5W DH users are using the GSkill and Corsair 6400 modules with good results. I ordered the corsair 6400C4 for my mobo. Its suppose to arrive tomorrow. The GSkill RAM is cheaper in price than Corsair. I chose Corsair because it seems to be the most popular with this mobo (I really dont want to deal with RAM incompatibility issues) and the fact I have never used GSkill before.

The OCZ Platinum Revision 2's work fine with my board.

Are you overclocking?
