shame on me!

i have a 512meg stick of corsair 3000xms, but I needed more because of all the video encoding I do.

I was able to pick up a 256kingston value stick of pc2100 for $35AR and I couldnt resist. I plan on getting into a new setup in the next six months (ram and mobo), so it wont be forever. I already have a buyer in mind for that stick when I dont need it anymore. it's good for everyone.

I havent put it in yet, i'll post how it works.

Heh, I just threw out a Kingston "Value Stick" on some workstation from a jewler shop. Replaced with Crucial!

well... I'll probably be replacing both sticks in six months with DDR2 or whatever the flavour is. I'm confused what's coming out, but I want the dual ram setup that's supposed to give you 30% more speed. If it'll still work with the pc3000xms, then I figure it'll cost me 200 for the new 512meg ram stick and 150 for the motherboard. worth the cost.

I havent even put it in yet, but how my motherboard is I can oc my p4 to 2.4 and my ram will sit at 260. perfect for this ram.

Wouldnt the Cheaper Kingston cause the XMS to run slower and possibly be a weak link in your OC?

it's all about what you set it to.

for what I'm using my puter for, cpu speed is more important. Plus, I dont have a manual ratio splitter. So, if I oc my cpu too high; the ram slows down.
