A8N-SLI with Crucial RAM

You will probably be happier with Corsair RAM...it's the best that
money can buy, and the company is the most reputable computer
peripheral company I have ever dealt with.

Hmm, their web site appears to be down - not a good advert :-)

Odd, it was fine when I made my post and is ok now.

What's so special about the Ballistix memory? When I go through the
Crucial memory picker, the most popular choice is:

It's considerable cheaper and I'm not going to be overclocking this
system.


It's CL2, instead of CL3 for the above part.

It makes a little difference in speed.

I guess it depends on whether you want to make the most of memory bandwidth
limited tasks.

Cheers, Rob.

All I want to do is play this copy of Doom 3 that I was bought for Christmas
:-)

You may find that CL2 helps a little, but only you can see which side of the
cost/performance trade-off you want to be. Also, I'd like to say that 1GB
of CL3 RAM would be much better than 512MB of CL2. 1GB of CL2 is nice
though.

These things (CL2 instead of 3) are more about squeezing the last few
percent.

My bad, I was talking about Crucial.

Yes, corsairmicro seems to be down, it's odd though:
www.corsairmicro.com. 38400 CNAME corsairmicro.com.


If you go to http://corsairmicro.com you get a 403 - Forbidden.

Going to www I get a DNS error (I guess some nameservers have the CNAME and
others not). Some of their records are 48 hours, so it could be a couple of
days before it's sorted, if it is a DNS problem.

Ta!

I don't think I'm that demanding :-) I'll go for the not-so-fast variety but
will be getting 2 x 512 so I can use that dual bank feature, thingy...
