Is it better to go for 800Mhz 1 GB RAM or 667 Mhz 1 GB RAM? Which is the best brand available in RAM?

Question

There is a price difference between the both. Is it worth it to go for higher FSB i.e. 800 Mhz? If so why? Which of the following is best Transcend,Kingston or Zion or do you have any other suggestions?

I'm going for Intel P965 RY Mother Board and Intel Core 2 Duo 2.13 Ghz processor. I'm going for DDR2 RAM 1 GB. I'm in the process of upgrading my PC with new Mobo,RAM and Processor.

Answer 1

hope you know this .............FSB stands for .......
In computers, the front side bus (FSB) or system bus is the physical bi-directional data bus that carries all electronic signal information between the central processing unit (CPU) and the northbridge.

a bus is essentially only a piece of wire that connects the CPU and other components ........thatz it

the faster, the better ............if your going in for a high end system like core 2 etc ,go for 800 Mhz ........

if you're looking badly to cut down cost, go for 666 Mhz ....

so i would recommend 800,an Transcend,kingston or Zion are preety much the same ........dont go for brand namez.....go for utility ........although I would recommend Kingston.!!!!!!!!

hope this helpz .......GOOD LUCK !!!!!!!!!!!

When it comes to processors, the first thing to do is get the brand name and model number of the motherboard and either check the builders website or motherboards.com to see what it supports. The two speeds you mentioned will be pretty close, the difference will be how much on board Cache memory the processor has.
As far as memory, I like Kingston, but again, match it to the motherboard. Sizes of the sticks and slot position does make a difference with most boards for best performance. With sufficient cooling, you might want to investigate overclocking the processor for even higher performance. This is usually available with jumper setting on the motherboard. Just remember heat kills, get a good CPU fan.

Generally it's better to go with the faster ones but 667 Mhz isn't bad and if u do go for 1 GB DDR Ram I think it'll be very ideal. I am using 1.5 GB DDR Ram( 2 sticks one is 1GB and the other is 512 MB) with a clock speed of 400 and it's Transcend, if ur not hung on spending then go for the best one as it truly enhances ur systems performance in every aspect. A fast machine is wat u constantly keep on craving. I think corsair is a good brand too just got an update from my vendor last week on it.

Higher the frequency cycle Higher will be the speed...so GO for ......800 Mhz . And i think KiNgsToN Is better than the RAms u ve mentioned....Moreover SIMMTRONICS is the best and have much higher cost than these...also ve resale value more than these kingston and Transcend RAMs . Also Simmtronics providing LIFETIME WARRANTY .
KINGSTON ve a big name in FLASH RAMs .So again i recommend Kingston
U know Kingston coming in indian market in CHINESE makes also...But Simmtronics is the only one which comes directly from manufacturer company ie from Korea .
Here if u go for KingstON Pen DRive u ll be provided the same capacity drives in different Costs...what does it mean...???? i think u r getting me...
So make sure 800Mhz Kingston RAM should be sealed properly and it shud b imported directly from its manufacturing Country .and muist be provided with warranty of atleast 5 Yrs. or wateva so the company providing...!

Answer 5

Faster FSB works the processor more efficiently, as for RAM name brands, if you are a gamer with a lot of dough, go with an 800Mhz FSB, low latency RAM, the top rated RAM on the market as of like 3 months ago was Corsair. Try www.newegg.com for your needs, very informative site with excellent prices and selection

Answer 6

go for the 800 fsb with a transcend and see that the MB supports the ram

Answer 7

Would agree with rest of the guys (and gals if any).800Mhz is better but what type of memory are you talking about is DDR or DDR2 as 800Mhz is rated clock speed but its real clock speed is around 400Mhz only....also it depends on the processor and mainboard's speed (FSB).

Hope you find this info helpful

Answer 8

800MHz and 667 MHz are not that big difference in a memory's cycle speed, you wont even experiance the difference, so you can go for the 667MHz, if you have extra, why not go for 1.5Gb at 667MHz instead, THAT would spell the difference.

Kingston has better quality than the other two

Answer 9

The faster the speed, the better. Just make sure its compatible with your other hardware. AS far as brand, you will find people loyal to each. Some popular brands include Kingston and OCZ. You cant go wrong with either.
