A good gigabyte motherboard

It's supposed to have a "safety feature" that prevents it from going too far. Still, I guess that experimentation is the way to go.

ok now i need some advice on Brands of memory which is better?

Sat Jun 12, 2004 8:04 pm by mustang

I swear by Corsair RAM, gets the thumbs up from most who use it. I haven't heard of anyone whose had a dodgy stick yet.

Sat Jun 12, 2004 8:15 pm by danclark20

ok well is it combatible with gigabyte boards?

Sat Jun 12, 2004 8:32 pm by mustang

Don't worry about compatability, you can stick RAM in any board wihtout grief.

Corsair is the best, but it is expensive. Therefore, it depends upon how much you want to spend.

I use Corsair because its very reliable, decent quality. But I was thinking of Geil's Golden Dragon or OCZ's Enhanced Latency and Bandwidth series. wodjoo fink?

..the Devil will find work for idle hands to do; i stole and I lied, and why? because you asked me to..

Geil are ok, but OCZ are seem to be getting better with every generation of RAM they produce. Still, I hardly ever see OCZ (and never Geil) RAM here in Aus., so I don't know from personal experience.

that's very odd, seeing as you're near the SE Asian manufacturing centres (well nearer than us) so what makes of memory do you generally get? I bet you get a lot of unbranded generic stuff..

Oh yeah, LOTS of generic stuff. PQI anyone?

I would get Corsair personally (and I will when I need to upgrade), but I am currently using Kingston. Kingston is good, but the performance isn't the same as Corsair. As for Geil, I cannot recall ever seeing it advertised here in Victoria. Regarding OCZ, I think that I know one store that sells it, but that's about it.

PQI, heheheh. so that's really good quality then.. (j/k)

I wouldn't put that in any of my pcs. I might put it in the pc of someone I didnt like, though.

edit - just found out that I can get GeIL and OCZ locally at nearly 20% off the retail price, only for myself though, so I will be having a little trip out later.

I know you can get Geil in Aus, probably need to special order it though. Most performance hardware shops I know only do Corsair.

actually it's 25%, I just didn't want to torture you too much, then I changed my mind and decided to make you even more annoyed

blimey, if i paid retail I'd have to pay 17.5% VAT <shudder> something I avoid whenever possible.
