I’m on a tight budget but might manage the 2x2gb kits if the performance will be better than the 1x4GBs.
Every one feel free to give their opinions and u can try to change my mind about my choices too as long as the pricing is near about the ones above AND it can be sourced here in India/ from any of the dealers here
the options uve posted have prices of 400 $+ and u say tight budget
ohk so they are DDR3 modules ..i thought u r spending so much for DDR2..
anyways i have no idea on which one is better ..all look good to me
lets see what others have to say..
by the way i think you should go for 2 X 2GB..
OT
one more thing…why do DDR3 RAMS have such loose timings like 7-7-7-18 and all compared to what DDR2 have ?? i mean i was wondering doesnt this affect the speed and performance..?
how fast/better is DDR3 better than the 800/1066 Mhz DDR2 ?
i thought that DDR3 was new..and would take some more time to mature..
Is it wise to buy DDR3 at this stage? It is in still evolving phase… If you buy a 4GB stick now then some time later you’ll have to buy another 4GB stick of same spec (which may become obsolete soon since the frequencies are changing rapidly). If you buy 2*2GB then too price will fall rapidly some time later and you’ll have to face depreciation from 20K (US price now) to say 5K (price sometime later)…
I would have put a hold on DDR3 and got a MoBo having both DDR 2 & 3 support (which may be difficult to find).
Indeed, this is a tough decision and take it only after carefully thinking over each pro & con of DDR3…
20K is a huge sum for some. If you think it is affordable to you then go for it!!! (Ohh, I used the banned phrase, now someone will get mad at me )
Ok, will try to stretch my budget for the 2x2gb kits. I think I’ll go for the 2x2GB G-Skill kits (464.99 US dallars). Lower latencies than the Patriot and priced cheaper too.
Anybody think I should go for some other kit at the same price point? I’m having probs browsing the Newegg site.
Happens- cool.
4x1GB implies 4 sticks of 1GB and one stick of 4GB would have been denoted as 1x4GB.
This had happened in a previous thread on the same topic.
Back then, it as a no brainer as there were no 4GB DDR2 sticks available, but are they now?? :ashamed:
Hey, make sure u get the sticks with the right chips and don’t just consider as per specs.
Sometimes a kit with higher latencies at stock but better/preferred chips clocks higher or runs much tighter timings at the hands of a skilled user.
Ya, Newegg is acting weird here too- can barely get a page or 2 open- stuck after that.
^^why doesn’t anybody read the whole thread ? No offence@amdlover, but I’ve already mentioned that I have made up my mind on 2x2gb. Help me decide which 2x2GB kit to get!
