What about the RAM. On post 56&57 I asked a question on which memory to purchases, and ideas?
I personally like the corsair better... And I like the Antec case as well...
I think your going to be very happy with your new computer :D... It will beat the crap out of mine :p
...And again, please edit your posts instead of making hundreds of posts in a row...
The problem is that the Cooler Master Centurion CAC-T05-UR, is $60 cheaper than the Antec P180.
I already got the antec TruePower II 480. And I am going to purchase the CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Dual Channel Kit System Memory - Retail.....http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145450
Is these itmes ok?
Which one would you choose?
These is a list of Corsair RAM that works with my MOBO......
Recommended Modules
Most Popular:
TWINX2048-3200C2 / DDR-400 (XMS-3200C2) / 2-3-3-6
Best Overclocking:
TWINX2048-4000PT / DDR-500 (XMS-4000) / 3-4-4-8
Lowest Latency:
TWINX2048-3500LLPRO / DDR-434 (XMS-3500LL) / 2-3-2-6
XPERT - Configurable On-Module LED Display:
TWINXP1024-3200XL / DDR-400 (XMS-3200XL) / 2-2-2-5
I saw the TWINX1024-3200C2PT for $99, but its 2x512, and the TWINX2048-3200C2 for $212, but its 2x1gig. Any advice?
ALSO,
What is the difference between CORSAIR
Series XMS
Model TWINX1024-3200C2PT
Type 184-Pin DDR SDRAM
Tech Spec
Capacity 1GB (2 x 512MB)
Speed DDR 400 (PC 3200)
Cas Latency 2
Timing 2-3-3-6
ECC No
Registered/Unbuffered Unbuffered
Heat Spreader Yes
AND....
CORSAIR
Series XMS
Model TWINX1024-3200PT
Type 184-Pin DDR SDRAM
Tech Spec
Capacity 1GB (2 x 512MB)
Speed DDR 400 (PC 3200)
Cas Latency 3
Timing 3-3-3-8
Voltage 2.75V
ECC No
Registered/Unbuffered Unbuffered
Heat Spreader Yes
The only I see is the Timing 2-3-3-6 and 2-3-3-8.
The price is difference of $30. I dont know which on to purchase now? They look the same, its just the timming........
The Antec is 60 dollars more because of better engineering, Antec really had air flow in mind while designing that case, IMO...
To answer your question about the difference of the 2 ram modules... You are correct the latency is basically the only difference, maybe voltage to but to top one doesn't say... But the lower the latency, but better/faster your Ram will be... Low latency is always good...
So which one is better?
This one is for $99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145450
And the second one is for $130
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145492
And there is a third for $131
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145578
I dont want to spend all these money so far and get cheap stuff. Which one do you recommend.
1
2
3
I am just missing the case and the RAM now.....Thanks for all your help.......
Well... which one has the lowest latency/timing??
1. 2-3-3-6
2. 3-3-3-8
3. 2-2-2-5
I guess no. 3 is best? Right?
Jeez louise :
buy one, any one, humans will be unable to determine the difference in them, even the PC will struggle to show which is which........
So buy it and BUILD :)
we're waiting to see just how good the new box IS ..............
[edit]Don't forget to buy a little hub / switch and some patch leads so you can NETWORK :eek:
Ok. Will do, my last question......1 gig or 2 gig of ram? I dont need a HUB, because I dont have enought space on my desk for 2 cpus?
1GB is sufficient for your needs :
and bearing in mind that your 'budget' has been well thrashed :)
you might as well 'compromise' on the RAM ......
