Ballistix PC8500

[bnevets27]

I need some help deciding on getting ether the 8500 or 6400. I don't care about benching and don't need the tight timings (though they would be nice). I just need some ran that will run with my E6300. I have it at 3.5ghz right now so that puts my FSB around 500 so DDR2-1066 range. I need them to not hold my cpu back.

I have heard the 6400 are just lower binned 8500. Will the 6400's clock high enough for me or should I go with the 8500's to be safe.

Need an answer soon please, I need to get ride of my patriots

Thanks in advance

Actually, I've heard the opposite (after I purchased the 8500) that the 6400 typically are hitting higher speeds than the 8500 and the 6400 are higher binned. I would keep the Patriot, order the 6400 from Newegg and if you don't like what they do, RMA them within 30 days for a pair of the 8500.

Id try some Orthos or Prime95 on the RAM instead of memtest. Just use the option to stress the RAM more.
