hello guys.
i already have a 2gb DDR2 Transcend RAM@800Mhz.
i want to upgrade with a 2*2gb @800Mhz Kit.
what is the cheapest and the best 2*2gb @800Mhz module from Corsair,G Skill and OCZ.
OCing is not important and my budget is 4k MAX but would love to buy in the range of 3k! :grin:

and have DDR2 prices reduced in India?
thank you

how are these models?

G-Skill F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ (2GB x 2) 800 MHz @ 3.2k

Corsair TWIN2X4096-6400C5(2 X 2GB DDR2 800MhZ C5) @3.3K

Well, if NOT OCing, and as per the above 2 options (Corsair and G SKill)

Go for G Skill... as it has got less latency as compared to the Corsair one..
but yes, this is also a FACT that Corsair RAMs hv a 10Year warranty, so if i were u, i wud hv gone for Corsair....(even though the latency is a bit on the higher side).. :)

RAMs of different brands can be used BUT BUT BUT ONLY if their Latencies match EXACTLY same.. :) like 3-3-3-12 or sum thing of this sort, hope ur doubt is cleared now.. :)

also, Corsair offers 10Yr warranty on its products, i hv no idea abt g Skill man.. :(

i meant a Gskill/corsair kit on dual channel and Transcend on the 3rd slot.
there wont be any computability issues right?
btw my transcend latency is 5-5-5-18 and the GSkill F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ has 5-5-5-15....that's hardly any difference right?is Gskill worth the extra money??

ANd YES, G SKill or a Corsair are worth that extra bucks tats for sure buddy.. :)

hmmm...thanks
but are you SURE that the 0-0-0-3 lower latency would make a huge diff in Gkill/Corsair?
im sry to ask again...its just that i want to make sure the money i spent is worth while...:)

Man get anyone of them. If you had an AMD CPU, then your need would have been one with

CAS latency - - 4-4-4-12


BTW, anyone noes of a 4GB kit with the aforementioned timings? Please tell me, post here or PM me ASAP!!!!!

Dnt be sorry dude,.. :) well, even im not sure abt the 0-0-0-3 making a huge difference or wat, :confused:

I think the overall performance also depends on ur system specs (for these RAMs to giv ultimate performance) i may be wrong, but even im not tat expert in these things.. :(
