| 586776 | 2007-09-01 05:34:00 | I'd go for Corsair also. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 586777 | 2007-09-01 09:31:00 | Corsair or Kingston are my picks. | beeswax34 (63) | ||
| 586778 | 2007-09-01 19:43:00 | You are getting an inferior cpu, so why worry about what ram you get. "No Name" will go nicely with the rest of your stuff. |

"No Name" will go nicely with the rest of your stuff. :illogical a 6000 is not inferior, you will find it is an amazing CPU for the price and is even a tad faster than the equiv priced C2D, go do you research :rolleyes: Oh and BTW Jack, he is wanting to know what is reliable RAM, I don't see where he says it needs to be HP RAM :rolleyes: Anyway, I recommend Kingston. |

Perhaps "inferior" was not the right word. It may be OK in it's price range,but it is certainly is not a top performer. And as mid range it does not require top range memory. Any cheapish ram will do. |

| 586781 | 2007-09-01 23:51:00 | I don't see anywhere a question regarding CPU's, it never hurts to have quality RAM in any system and both Corsair & Kingston have quite reasonably priced RAM as well as the high performance expensive stuff. A 6000+ is only a little slower overall than a core 2 duo 6750 and you wouldn't recommend "no name" RAM for one of those surely ? Just out is the 6400+, which is probably the last gasp from the X2 architecture. Personally I'm waiting to see what happens with the next round of CPUs from AMD & Intel before I consider upgrading. |

| 586782 | 2007-09-02 00:49:00 | Generic A-data DDR800 will be fine, Corsair and Kingston are a waste of time in that PC. I've even had some good overclocking results with the A-data hitting DDR1000 on loosened timings. | Pete O'Neil (6584) | ||

And as mid range it does not require top range memory. Any cheapish ram will do. It might not require top range, nobody ever said it did, the question (as I believe) is the poster wants decent quality RAM... less chance for it to fail... I buy decent quality regardless of what its application is :rolleyes: I don't see anywhere a question regarding CPU's, it never hurts to have quality RAM in any system and both Corsair & Kingston have quite reasonably priced RAM as well as the high performance expensive stuff.
