Not that my system is that much of a slouch but I would like to upgrade it for some new games coming out. I am going to keep everything in my system the same except the motherboard, ram, cpu, and eventually the graphics card. I am thinking of an EVGA nForce 680i $239.99 NEWEGG Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.40GHz (this overclocks well right?) $309 NEWEGG my big question is on the ram. OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Dual Channel DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Timing 4-4-4-15 Cas Latency 4 239$ is there ram that might be more fitting for my new system? There is some 4-4-4-12 by corsair, but at 50 dollars more I question wether I will actually see a difference. For now I plan on keeping my 7800GT's, and I will upgrade to an 8800GTX when I get the money, and then hopefully add a second one later eventually. Basically, is this any good and will I see a large difference in performance? Are there better prices somewhere I might be missing? Is that core 2 duo a good overclocker and about what could I expect on an average oc? Thanks for any answers, I have been out of the loop on RAM and processors lately.
i bought the corsair 5-5-5-12 and im running them at 4-4-4-12!!!! with zero problems and ran memtest fine too! do exactly what i did
The OCZ is already 4-4-4-15 though, for 50 dollars cheaper, so is there any advantage to the Corsair? The rest of there specs seem identical.
