hi guys.

i want some 800mhz sticks for my new conroe build.

but the question is, which should i buy ?

i got around 200€/$ to spend for 2gb, so 2*1gb

now what should i get ?

- 2gb Kit G.e.i.l CL5 5-5-15 : 214€
- 2gb kit MDT CL5 5-5-12 : 224€
- 2gb kit OCZ Platinum CL4 5-4-15 : 209€
- crucial 2* 1gb stick CL4 4-4-12 : 2*134€ (expensive !!)
- kingston hyper x 2*1gb stick CL5 5-5-15 : 2*155€(expensive !!)
- team group 2gb kit CL4-4-4-10 : 270€ (expensive !!)
- G.Skill 2gb kit 5,0-5-5-15 : 200€
- mushkin 2gb kit 5,0-5-5-12 :190€

what would you choose ?

i often see many people here making advertising for OCZ in their sig, but when i read comments about it in shops, many people have got problemes with it.

ah yes : i won't kick my new E6600 beyond 400mhz(more like 300-350), just if that matters in any way.

thank you for help !

any reason for that ? got OCZ yourself, or is it just the price/performance factor that made the decision ?

edit :

>> Team Group?

only one shop to order from here : 2gb kit CL4-4-4-10 (DDR2-800) : 255€ + around 15 extra € for shipping, cause all other stuff i (could) buy from one shop.

so that means 270€, which is REALLY expensive and i don't know if it's worth to spend it for...

edit2: added teamgroup , g.skill and mushkin in first post....
