RAM for A8N-SLI

CrashMaster · 30-January-05, 02:51 PM

I could use some advice here.
I have built Intel rigs for years now but this will be my first AMD.

Planning on:
A8N-SLI
Athlon 64 3500+ (Winchester 90nm)
6600GT or 6800GT PCI-E, best I can afford when I'm done
1Gig Ram

It sounds like the AMD rigs prefer low latency RAM. I have been looking at a Gig of PQI PC3200 @ 2-2-2-5

Wondering which is better for this setup; low latency PC3200 or higer latency Corsair XMS PC4000 Pro @ 3-4-4-8

I hope to OC and would like to know which I can expect best performance out of.
Open to any suggestions.

Thanks

Either of those 3, get these and you will thank me.

Abitiy to run low 2.2.2.5 at PC-3200-4000, and also these can go to DDR710 at 2.5.3.4.10

GSkill ram here.

Thanks for the links
I was originally looking at the Gskill, but wasn't sure if the stuff on newegg was the low latency, and couldn't find it anywhere else.
Good to know it is, I'll be going with the Gskill then

Thanx

not sure how well the A8N will OC, but this ram is hitting 310 HTT in the DFI NF-SLI-DR

OCZ Platinum Enhanced Latency Dual Channel Kit 184-Pin 1GB(512MBx2) DDR PC-4200
