RAM, What to do>?
Hey guys,
Trying to decide between DDR2667 with 3-3-3-10 timings, or DDR2800 at 4-4-3-12. Which one of these combinations would provide the best performance?
There is about $120 price difference. Here are the kits.

Thanks for the thoughts!

I have the ASUS M2N-E right now with the DDR2800 4-4-3-10, but only 2x512
would like the 2x1gb
Thanks

What other brands should I be looking at. Is Patriot, OCZ, or Crucial.
Is the purpose of overclocking to achieve a specific goal, such as Folding@Home, or is it to improve overall performance? Or, will it be just for the fun of it? That would make a difference in what type of DRAM to select.
I think lemonlime would be better suited to help. I don't know a whole lot about how dividers work, because technologically I'm still stuck in the era where FSB = Memory speed... Period. Dividers are the devil on my PC.

Another reason I generally don't overclock the RAM much is for compromise. I have several machines, of which most I upgrade at least annually. I just can't justify upgrading all the components. I do have a household budget. I usually purchase used processors and motherboards for excellent prices but find high performance memory, even used, to be rather expensive. It's just not worth it to me.
