im looking high performance ram~which ram are good value for money??
any recommend? Crucial, OCZ, Team, GSKILL, GEIL, Patriot, Kingston, Corsair???

It depends on your need. Crucial quite good but more heat than other. As for OCZ, you have to pick the right module by do some research in various review website. This is because not all OCZ are able to run in default clock and timing with all setup.

Try to look for SLi ready RAM.

Oic....thanks guy

I plan to buy a 1GB DDR1 ram , but I'd like to know how to look at chipset ? what is the difference between KRV and Hynix ?
Can someone kindly update the image for those chipset at first page ? all image does not exist.

Thank you

You are welcome.

Hi guys!I have question here.If your laptop FSB is 533MHZ, can it support the RAM with 667MHZ DDR II?

FSB doesn't have anything to do with the support of rams.
Give me the brand and the model of your notebook.
I'll check it for you.

Hi!!!mY Noebook is Acer Aspire 5504!!!Can ir support the 667 MHZ DDR II RAM?TQ

This is your notebook right?

Hi guys.. Need help from u guys.. I hv read sumwhere telling that if your mobo only support DDR2 533mhz, u can still use DDR2 667mhz coz the mobo will automaticly downclock your ram to 533mhz.. izzit true?

coz currently i'm using 512mhz ram on my laptop and i wanted to upgrade my laptop ram to 2gb dual-channel (1gb x 2).. but the thing is 1gb ddr2 667 is much more cheaper and easier to find than the 533mhz.. and my laptop only support ddr2 533mhz (read it at intel website <-- dunno true or not)..

so back to question.. can i use the ddr2 667mhz instead of the 533mhz? if 667mhz can be use instead of 533mhz do they have any impact (performance/future defect/problems)? and do 1gb ddr2 667mhz X 2 (2gb dual-channel) with give a same effect as 1gb ddr2 533mhz X 2 (2gb dual channel) on the mobo that support only ddr2 533mhz?

here's my laptop model:

Acer Travelmate 4021NWLMi
Intel Pentium M proc 725 (1.6ghz, 400Mhz FSB, 2MB L2 cache)
Intel 915GM Express chipset

btw izzit relevent if upgrade my laptop to 2gb ram based on my laptop spec ? or i should just use 1gb ram (512 x 2) instead?

hope u guys can help explain it to me.. anyway thanx in advance..

In my opinion, there is no problem to use the DDR2 667Mhz even though the laptop support up to 533Mhz. Indeed, it will automatically downclock the frequency in the first place.

Hope this will you. Good luck.

the freq rating on RAM refers to the MAX freq that the RAM is specified to run stably by the manufacturer. Much like the maximum top speed of a car. If your car has a top speed of 200km/h, you can still drive at 120km/h right ? It's the same for RAMs.

the statement "automatic downclock" is incorrect. What actually happen is that the RAM basically follows the freq as set by the mobo.

Yeah. Sorry for incorrect term.

hi,

i just want to know which brand should i choose for SODIMM DDR2 RAM, i need high performance ram...

a) Mushkin
b) Corsair
c) TeamData
d) Kingston

Please help~!

Try to look for tight timing spec for Sodimm RAM.

what do you mean by tight?

lower timing. such as 4-4-4-12.

Cas Latency 4

hie..i'm looking for 1GB DDR2 667Mhz SODIMM RAM for my laptop. currently has 2 options : Kingston & Corsair. which one will u guys recommend? both price more or less the same. offers lifetime warranty too. how about performance? just wanna boost up my Vista. hardly gaming. more to internet surfing & some Adobe Photoshops.
