    Memory Question

    When I ordered my 8K3A+ I got a 512Mb stick of OCZ PC2700 to replace my 256Mb of Crucial PC2100. The OCZ ram I got was one of the cheapest 512 sticks on Newegg and seems to overlock much better than my PC2100. Is there any reason for this, or is just that I got a better stick this time?

    Also, I'm running WinXP and when I had 256MB of RAM the system used all but about 50Mb with very little swap file usage, but with my 512 stick it still uses all but about 50-75Mb. Does windows keep more stuff in the RAM according to how much you have?

    OCZ RAM sucks.
    You were better off with the Samsung PC-2700 6ns RAM.
    Trust me.

    Not a problem for me, I guess I got a good stick. Mine overclocks very good.

    I never recommend it, but if it works for him let him enjoy it.

    Consider yourself very fortunate, cuz OCZ hand picks their mem modules in this very high tech factory.

    I'm still saving up to build a new rig... While everyone else has already joined the darkside.
