Crucial or Corsair ?

[GoNz0]

Ok i just returned some crappy no name 333 ram i got for my EPoX 8K3A+ & have a credit card infront of me

Crucial don't offer PC2700 ram that runs guarenteed at Cas Latency 2, only 2.5

Corsair do.

Hmmmm, I need input guy's and gals please.

It's a very Crucial choice, but I would go with the Corsair.

Yup, anyone got an alternative to overclockers uk price wise ?

There 512mb sticks are out of stock and 2 X 256 xms2700 will cost

dude shop in canada... your pound is worth 2.42 canadian!
go to atic.ca
they have 512mb 2700 ddr ram for between 150 and 220 dollars. thats like 67- 90 pounds!

 

[GoNz0]

That's a long way to send it back if i get a faulty chip.

theyre usually very good with their stuff.
their intels number one dealer on the west coast

honestly m8 it's well worth gettin ur memory from the us/canada. i've looked @ all the u.k proces + they ask way 2 much. american is just as good + is half the price

i have micron sdram... cas2, 7ns... simply the best pc133 memory you can get.

crucial is micron's value brand. they have great memory (reliability/compatibility-wise) at a decent price, but look elsewhere if you want the best performance.

I love my strip of crucial, it gives me great results in Sandra for memory bandwidth, I got a score of:
Int - 2003
Float - 1909

Wich is really good

OK I orderd myself some Corsair XMS 3000 as it states it runs a 2-2-2 timing at 166 DRAM Bus, Sounds good to me. oh and i got me some of that ere arctic silver 3 gloop as well to see if i shave a degree or two off my cpu temp.
