need input for ram choices, Im down to 3

icemakr · 08-13-2005, 07:52 AM

I'm going to get 1GB of Dual Channel ddr 3200, I've narrowed it down to three choices and they are below:

OCZ Titanium Edition, Cas 2, 2-3-2-5
mushkin XP3200 Dual Pack, Cas 2, 2-2-2
CORSAIR XMS, Cas 2, 2-3-3-6

Any positives or negatives about any of these? These range from $140 to $165, so if there is any other you might suggest that might be in this range spit it out.

Are you overclocking?

If you arn't overclocking, the Mushkin is the tightest timed, which means highest peformance.
