|  Should i get this ?
I thought this was a bargain... is it ? Tekheads.co.uk
1066 PC8500 2GB Kit TekHeads own kit for £68
I thought i might get it in my quest to overclock my E6300 as far as possible, and my PC5300 aint gona cut it  .
I dont know how stable and good this will be for overclocking when lowering timeings etc etc ?
Also another question. Whys the E6750 cheeper than the E6700 ? Which will be faster ? whats the difference ? :eek:

I have crap value ram in my PC and it works fine. Prolly wouldn't do too well under OCing...but I just needed lots of ram for the things I do which actually use it all up. If you don't want to OC it I don't think it makes -that- much of a difference.

Yeh its cheap stuff, probably wont overclock well. And its timings arent even on there, so they could be quite high...

ehh so what at 1066mhz how much faster do you want it? If you need to raise your CPU's FSB while keeping a sane ram speed then just lower your RAM's speed down a notch to 800mhz and then the high FSB will raise it back again.
The timings though, might be the downfall. If thats a good price for ram in the UK though i say take it.

Its a very good price, OCZ Kingston and Crucials cheepest stuff and even computer shop branded 1066Mhz DDR2 2GB packs are £120+. To be honest i can't see me needing to overclock them that much, they might get hot i suppose. But then i'll just by a HS for them.
Ahh well thats the world of computing, get the best you can for the money. And then if it sucks, without your wife knowing (luckily i dont have one at 13  ) spend lots of money , like my dad does, alot.
How much of a difference do ram timings make.
If i spent roughly the same amount of money on a decent pair of PC6400, 7200 RAM, would that be better or would 6400 ram still limit me ?
Ok how about this > OCZ (OCZ2P10002GK) 2GB (2x1024MB) DDR2-1000 PC2-8000 CL 5-5-5-15 PLATINUM DUAL CHANNEL EL XTC KIT (LIFETIME WARRANTY)
Or This > OCZ 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 Memory Gold GX XTC CL5 DUAL CHANNEL (LIFETIME WARRANTY)
