Xiahou is on a distinguished road

Default Ram

Hey all,

My friend is in need of help.

He can use pc 3200 , he has 2 slots in his mobo, and obviously 184 pin.

He has a budget of ABOUT 150$.

Would appreciate if you could give best ram for that price

Cheers for any help,

go for the cheapest! RAM is RAM. i am guessing that he is not a hardcore PC user so it shouldnt make any difference either way what he gets.

Brands you wanna get are, like stated above, Corsair and OCZ, but Patriot and Geil are good also.
Since he wont overclock, go for Value Select ram, rather than performance.
