mudmanc4 Posted March 25, 2008 CID Share Posted March 25, 2008 I don't know about cheaper, i could look, but for quality, I always go with Crucial. If your gaming , stay away from ECC.

tommie gorman Posted March 25, 2008 CID Share Posted March 25, 2008 Myself I never had luck with kingston or PQI. I also like crucial. Dependable. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/22050-looking-for-ram/#findComment-263927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
starship_troopers Posted March 25, 2008 CID Share Posted March 25, 2008 Honstely A-Data is great RAM...i use 2 gigs of it with heatspreaders on the sticks..and hella fast...and cool. but i also like PQI.....never have used crucial...i've put it in some others systems, seems to run nice. but i'll stick with kingston and A-DATA Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/22050-looking-for-ram/#findComment-263938 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjageek Posted March 26, 2008 Author CID Share Posted March 26, 2008 Thank you all guys and gals. Once again you pulled through with some great ideas. Still not sure which I will buy but have a few options I will look at. After the ram is upped then its time for a new slave drive, Then a new video card in time. This thing will be a monster. Just one question starship. What is a "heatspreaders"??? Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/22050-looking-for-ram/#findComment-264050 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted March 26, 2008 CID Share Posted March 26, 2008 Just one question starship. What is a "heatspreaders"??? They are just heat sinks, that are either formed into the dimm when made, or attached by the end user.

vern Posted March 27, 2008 CID Share Posted March 27, 2008 I've used Kingston HyperX RAM for years. Never had any problems with it. Isn't it amazing how cheap RAM is today compared to just 3 or 4 years ago? 4 gigs of Hyper X now for only $80.00 when I paid over $200.00 for one gig not that long ago.

Your tellin me, I can't even begin to tell you how much I have invested into memory, The pic is just one drawer out of many, of course I have a huge collection of old CPU's, and MB's from socket 2 80486DX, on up, I wish I had a just one, socket (1), but there real hard to find. Some of you probably never have seen some of the types of memory in this drawer (on the left).

I have two Laptops right now, I work on one, transfer to another, so I can take my work with me. The other one is my oldest sons, XP took a dive south, and the screen hinge is broke so I'm lookin for a hinge for less than 50-60 buck's. EDIT, yes I do have a couple "cartridges", but I don't takem off the MB's they suck! I have an older asus w/ one of those on it. BTW, thats half of my desk :evil6: Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/22050-looking-for-ram/#findComment-264270 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted March 27, 2008 CID Share Posted March 27, 2008 There's just one more monitor besides the three laptops and the 24" panel. There's two phones, and a couple external Hdd's. The two ftp's are on the stand at the right, as well as the network devices, and two towers. Thats not counting the one in my boy's room, then the one in the dining room. What a mess.
