DDR Brand dilemma.

If I cannot afford any CL2.0 corsair memory, I seem to be left with a wholw swathe of CL2.5 stuff of varying prices. I have a choice of
seitek or winbond DDR sticks that are significantly more exspensive than some generic brand DDR(3200) sticks. Are these brands any better than the generic sticks I could get for say $100 less.

Games are the main focus of my PC and I intend an Nforce2 board along with a Geforce FX (eventually). Should I bite the bullet and get the CL2.0 stuff??? If not, what brand of CL2.5 should I get??

What size stick? I got a 256mb 2-2-2 stick of Corsair XMS PC3200 at googlegear.com for $92

You can get a stick of 256mb Kingston HyperX PC3000 2-3-3-1T CAS 2 with heat spreaderhere for less than 59 bucks a pop. Shipping's real cheap too via UPS 2nd day.

i got Kingston HyperX PC3000
for 123$ for 2 - 512mb chips including shipping

its running at 333mhz only so far at 2-2-2-6 timing

Ahh Kingston, I'd quite forgotten.

I live in Perth Australia and it's not always easy to get some of this stuff. Also I'm looking at the 512mb sticks. But, if I die from the price of those then the 256's will have to do.

Where? 2 sticks of 512mb for $123? where?

Get Crucial. Always a safe choice and their prices have dropped considerably. PC2700 256MB for $48 and 512MB for $89 or so. Can't beat that!

He made a mistake. I got 2 sticks of 256 for a total of 512 for $123. It's cheaper now, but not that much cheaper! LOL
