caustiK Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 it really depends on what mobo/chip you're using really - if you have an athlon you'll use sdram or ddr (ddr if you have a semi-new mobo), if you have a p4 it could be sdram, ddr, or rdram - i'd say go for ddr if you're using an athlon (pc2400 or 2700) and rdram for a p4 (pc1066 is out now for the newer fsb's too) - buy brand name, mushkin corsair crucial are all good, and spend according to your budget :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magruno Posted July 7, 2002 Author Share Posted July 7, 2002 i have a p4 so really any type of ram would still give the same 512 mb effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caustiK Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 well not really - what does your mobo take? that's what i'd go buy, unless you're planning on buying a whole new mobo - rdram would probably be the fastest, just ahead of ddr - but there's different rated speads and different latencies, etc. so it kinda depends on how much you wanna spend - depending on what you're doing, you could buy 512mb of anything and you might not notice a speed difference - again it just depends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
