Which RAM are best? - Hardware & Software

I found some cheap RAM that looked pretty nice -> [url]http://www.ebuyer.com/product/169268[/url] And then some more expensive ones -> [url]http://www.ebuyer.com/product/178950[/url] Which ones are worth it/best, and why?

Both are the same speeds and timings, one just comes with a fan. Get corsair ones if you're OCing.

Obviously higher clock speeds are more desirable, and heatsinks can be handy if you're on load a lot. Make sure your PC can actually take DDR3 first though...

Crosair is better than Kingston, in terms of reliability, from what I remembered

Corsair for the best quality. But G.Skill is good and cheap too.

Who has over £300 pounds to spend on RAM?

g.skill or adata if you want cheap and good, OCZ, crucial, and kingston are good mid-quality brands, and corsair is where it's at for high-end brands.

6 gigs of ram is a bit overkill.

but nobody needs 12

[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;21023506]8 is plenty for someone that does that shit[/QUOTE] I disagree... On big projects you'll easily chew through 8GB of RAM. Bearing in mind that you'll probably have Photoshop and your 3D applications open simultaneously, all handling large files.

i find the white ones with brown spots are the best

I've always used corsair, never had a stick fail me. Although a friend is running some crucial RAM and it's going fine.

I'm rocking Crucial Ballistix DDR2-800 running at 1087 MHz

[QUOTE=Yumyumbublegum;21023816]i find the white ones with brown spots are the best[/QUOTE] I dunno, I'm partial to the old militaristic green bricks myself :ohdear:.

[QUOTE=DarkWolf2;21022928]Come say that again in 3 years.[/QUOTE] Weak argument. Also it seems that we've hit a good number of 4. Of course DDR3 ruins that, but 4's hung around longer than any other it seems like.

I don't know 512 MB hung around for quite a while.

300£ on ram, and even 200£ thats a bit much really... You could get a radeon 5850 :V

I use Autodesk inventor for school and I can say that some projects do tend to be over 6 GB in seize. And you will get a warning from Inventor telling you to reboot it because you are running out of ram.
