Hello

There are many diff brands of ram... but i've came across Geil... I was wondering if they were any good?

if they are, i will go with 2 sticks of 512 pc3200, which would cost 142...

or should i...

go with 512mb pc3200 corsair low latency ram?? which would cost 158

thanks

From what I've heard, Geil's pretty good stuff.

Well, I prefer Geil. I bought a 512mb stick of PC3200 (OEM) w/ 6-3-3-2 timings and I run it at 3-3-3-2. Corsair is really overrated....

Also, I was just messing around seeing how fast I could get the RAM to do and I got it up to 466mhz DDR when it was stable. I always keep my RAM at the same speed as the bus for better performance.

Funny. Geil in German means sexy.

a buddy of mine had some good luck with it, i think that he bought a stick of pc3200 256MB, and it makes it to 200MHz FSB with ease... but i don't think he's going to have to push the ram.

id say its a good brand to pick. I believe that OCZ released some PC3700 GeIL Gold Edition [blah blah blah] ... um saw it at vr-zone.com

goodluck and have fun

I often use GiEL, even have two 256mb PC-3200 sticks in my personal desktop right now. Running at 434 MHz at stock voltage and tweaked timings. Great memory IMO, and I am even planning on reviewing some GiEL offerings in the near future for TechIMO.

are all of you using Giel over clocking??

I heard it was good for that, but what if you're not OCing

$142 $158 a ltlle searching you can do better, but somtmies the shipping brings the price back up again, your call.........
