White-Fusion: Fuck; +616|6830|Scotland

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850
EVGA S775 nForce 680i SLI
EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C5 TwinX (2x1GB)

I am putting the ram in my old pc and selling it to my friend.

So I will need ram for my pc.

I bought some OCZ 8500 last month but I had constant crashes so I want to get the ram I have right now... which is on sale for £40.

Should I get the ram I have right now?

It was this stuff http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu … subcat=817

And it is compatible. I just think I didn't set it up right in the BIOS.

OCZ never does wrong. You could go for the same ones you tried last time WF, and I am pretty sure they wouldn't crash it again.

It might be issues with my Motherboard 680i

I set the thing to 1066

voltage to 2.1

and timings to 5 - 5 - 5 - 15

Thats all i was told was needed.

If it does it's your PC not the RAM then.

Those settings i listed above. Is that all that is needed for the ram to run smooth?

You under powered it by 0.2v if you're right in saying you set it at 2.1v.

So might of been something wrong with the RAM?

Should I go for some 8500 stuff then?

Will the 8500 RAM be noticeably faster than 6400?

Should be very noticable, and I'd always say buy the fastest you can afford.

Cheers for help, I can't imagine PC being faster, As everything is instant really.

Hope it doesn't crash again or I will be without a PC for over a week as slow delivery times up in Scotland. That's why I'm hesitant.
