RAM Options For a Cheap Hoe

Buzz_4_20 · 17-January-03, 10:57 PM

just got the old W2 forms from work today so some PC purchases are on the horizon, but still, i'm cheap, mostly because i'm not well compensated for my work. or you could just say poor.

well here's the question, i would like to run two 256mb sticks of ddr@333 with 2-2-2-5-1T settings, but i don't want to shell out the $$$ for some corsair xms2700LL.

can anyone point me in the direction of high quality low price ram that will work at these setting sbut won't break the bank.

EDIT: And yes i do know i want champaign on a beer budget.

I'll rephrase the Question:
other than Corsair, what companies have ram that will run with stability at 2-2-2-5-1t@ddr333 that isn't high cost.

carbongraphite does have a point, if you don't plan to do much O/C, Samsung should work...Now...stability I don't know about.

i bought some samsung pc3200, and it only runs at 2.5-3-3-6@166.

EDIT: I've made my decision (unless something is horrible with my choice that is)

2 256mb sticks of OCZ3200 Rev. 3 for my a7n8x.
