wow, i feel weak but my 2 gigs of ram

6

Well it appears more RAM is always better. So yeah. Buy buy buy.

7

3gb of ram is up to like $120-150 already right? so it's anywhere up to $300 on just ram.. good god lol


this is why i'm waiting for a couple of years for ddr3 to go down to ddr2 prices

8

If you are still using 32 bit xp or vista they dont use any more than 3 gb. If you use more they get cranky and dont run right.

9

Make sure you buy 1600mhz RAM instead of 1333Mhz You WILL notice a difference.

10

i like how they're making uber fast ram up to like 2000mhz, yet only using 1.6ish volts compared to my 4 sticks of 800mhz sticks using 1.8v.

Tell me about it...my 4gb of 800mhz RAM requires 2.0 volts as per OCZ's request!

12

same with the old 1066mhz DDR2 dominator, 2.1v :x

13

the dominator gt 2000mhz will cost a little less than half than what i'm spending on my whole system. thats a little crazy.

14

it's for those people who spend money on almost nothing but their computers, or rich kids wanting people to tickle their e-penis.


my 6gb of 800mhz ram continues to chug along well.

15

i feel inferior with my 1033Hz DDR2 ;[

16

4gb DDR2 1066mhz here.. Errr, runs at 800 mhz.. gay
