Hardware price list/spec sheet

[funkysourav]

Expect to pay around ~2.3k for 2GB 1333 MHz DDR3 from Transcend.

DDR2 and DDR3 has enough performance difference - though you need a core i7 with x58 mobo

is it advisable to go for transcend?
afaik their products aren't reliable

 

[topgear]

^^ why so - never heard anything bad about it though your personal experience may vary.

If you too much worried about this brand then opt for Kingston - the price should be same

 

[funkysourav]

^^
no actually i've heard transcend rams go bad once in a while like all other brands
but the replacement guarantee not being honored by dealers
and its also listed in "hardware not to buy" thread!

so you understand my concern

afaik there's no difference in performance(ddr2 and ddr3) for amd athlon II or phenom II processors(isn't it?)

Buddy then why are Phenom II costlier than Athlon II ?

sorry my bad
i meant in between ddr2 and ddr3 with athlon II
or
ddr2 and ddr3 phenom II

i am asking the performance difference keeping the same proccy(either athlon else phenom) but changing the ram(ddr2 and ddr3)

@pulser_swift thanks for the link

@ funkysourav - DDR3 and DDR2 has performance difference even when you use a athlon II as the cpu and also do keep in mind that memory latecncy also plays a major role in memory performance.

Here's some good benchmarks :

If you are in South India, then this website would be better for you.

Its got prices of many various computer peripherals.

 

[topgear]

I know this website from 2006 though I don't frequently check it - the prices on this website seems to be a little bit steep

deltapage has better prices IMO

Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-US2H + Athlon II X4 630/635 combo. go for a better mobo if you can include in your budget. this setup will cost you 9.5k. so you can go for 880G based motherboard from MSI/Biostar for ~6k.
