my ram question......again

[Bad Ass]

Sorry to be a pain, being on a budget and all..

Been looking on the novatech website, and as I've never had any problems with novatech and they are very good generally, how does this look?

Cheers.

I wouldnt really get a relativly unknown make like that, go for one of these makes: Kingston, Geil, Corsair, Crucial, Samsung or OCZ.

Its very important you choose a good make of memory because the cheap stuff really does not perform as good, and it is a known fact that its fails and has problems. You might get lucky on the off chance to get a billy-no-make to work alright, but its just not worth the risk.

I think it would be pretty hard to find a gig of good ram for less than £120 delivered . But as i said earlier, dont buy the cheap stuff, because it is just that, cheap!

if you ask me i go for either crucial or a kingston chip. 512 is enough, but if your gonna use your PC for some heavy gaming stuff, get 1GB or higher.

I really do reccomend the Geil.

The corsair is good to

taa, Yeah I want a gig I play joint ops quite a lot and play in a squad, also we have a certain half life 2 coming out, so i want to take full advantage!


taa guys

Get a gig of the GeIL

It IS good stuff, cheap too.

Heatspreaders as standard, tighter timings than the Corsair. Smells good too

 

[Bad Ass]
