Best RAM to Buy

RAM

Buying cheap RAM is just asking from trouble, especially if you push your system hard.

High-end - Corsair TWINX Dominator Dual Channel 2048MB PC14400 DDR3 1800MHz (2 x 1024MB) - New!

Since I’ve listed some DDR3 motherboards, it’s time to include some DDR3 memory.

Insanely fast, insanely expensive.

Not only do you get some of the fastest DDR3 going, but you also get excellent quality RAM backed by a lifetime warranty for added piece of mind. This stuff has a CAS latency of 7-7-7-20.

Price - about $550

Mid-range - Corsair XMS2 DHX 2048MB Dual Channel PC6400 DDR2 800MHz Memory (2 x 1024MB) - New!

Fast RAM, tight timings (5-5-5-18), combined with the Dual-Path Heat Xchange (DHX) technology makes the Corsair XMS2 DHX RAM a bargain at $60. These modules also overclock well and run relatively cool.

Power, performance and stability all for a mid-range price.

Price - about $60
