What's Best Ram? My system I'm gonna build.
Posted: Sun Jun 13, 2004 8:11 pm
What RAM is the best out there? This Geil RAM seems a little high on it's timings. It has the most reviews on newegg of any ram. What ram is the best?
Here's the system I am thinking of building so far:
I'd like to express my appreciation to all those on this forum that helped me in choosing the system components above.
The missing component right now is the ram... I haven't really researched it yet. Any pointers on where to start? As I understand timing is one of the most important things, and also being stable for oc'ing.
What do you think of my system? Suggestions?
Thanks!

Ok. I just ordered the Buffalo (ch-5) ram from Newegg, two sticks of 512mb for $99 each. Thanks for all the help guys!
Here's the system I am thinking of building so far:
- Abit NF7-S 2.0 motherboard (maybe AN7... probly NF7-S tho) modded with Zalman NB45J
- AMD 45W 2600-M with IQYHA & MPMW steppings
- Cooled with Zalman 7000 Alcu cooler and using this and this mod.
- Incased in an black LX-6A19 from directron.com (will mod it similar to coolcases version)
- Case cooled with two (front and back) evercool 120mm aluminum fans decouple mounted possibly with Bluefront's method.
- Back 120mm fan opening will be covered with a chrome grill.
- Power supply will be Fortron Source FSP350-60PN (already purchased).
- Hard drives will be Samsung SP1604N - IDE 160 GB 2MB Cache (already own) possibly connected via SERILLEL2 SATA Converter included with NF7-S v2
- Samsung SP1614C Sata 160GB or maybe instead Seagate ST3200822A - IDE 200GB 8MB Cache (not 100% sure which)
- Zalman ZM80C-HP passive cooler for my PNY Ti4200 64MB 500Mhz clock rate (already own) and possibly oc w/Zalman BR123 to possibly mount this fan over it, or alternately use ZM-OP1 (probly less silent)
