twinmoss dual channel kit 256mb mem x 2

Sorry but you pay a premimum for a couple of 'stickers' ... ask your supplier just to give you a pair of 256's.

According to GeIL's website , the PC3500 DC kit is uses hand picked 4.5ns DRAM, and obviously, is rated to run at PC3500 speeds (216 MHz FSB) with memory timings of CL2-6-3-3. However, the modules require a voltage of between 2.5-2.9V to meet those specs. The DIMM's are covered by tin coated copper heat spreaders which look very cool and do seem to work well, since at high speeds the memory did get quite warm to the touch.

There is no such thing as "Dual Channel Memory" ...

The premium DDR RAM sector has a number of companies producing high specification modules. Two of these are Corsair and Mushkin respectively. As such, this ram is recommended for the extreme overclocking enthusiast. If you are going to be running your system at stock speeds, there is no need to purchase this ram.


Oh, the rest of your system is very good.

Which ram would you recommend for this setup ?

just get single sticks of twinmos ? or a different brand ?

Corsair and Mushkin respectively ...

but get a pair, put one in slot1 & one in slot3

... even Kingston memory will do, I use Kingston as its easy for me to buy, good price too.

I use Crucial memory all the time, and I have never had a problem with it - it is very well priced and performs well when overclocked (as I sometimes do).

http://www.crucial.com/uk if you want to take a look.

Crucial is good and reliable for the non-overclocker.

Samsung Original is also good and reliable, and is known to be good for overclocking too, but still at a good price.
