Thanks for the post, but that's only 667 speed and I don't want to overclock the memory. Besides, it's $250 and I'd be paying a premium for the 4-4-4 timings which aren't particularly important to me. I can get 2X1024 PC6400 Corsair XMS (5-5-5-12) at newegg (or ZZF) right now for $230. I'll...
Anyone have a current list of PC6400 2X1024 memory compatible with the DS3 and S3? I'm looking for any decent PC6400 that, at the most will get pushed to about 850. I don't plan to mess with the timings. 5-5-5 is fine.
I just can't seem to get a straight anwer on the OCZ. With newly...
Has anyone come up with a comprehensive list on stable PC6400 for this board? I'm looking to order but I can't get consistent answers on memory compatibilty and with prices what they are it's going to cost a premium for peace of mind and extra performance&quality I don't need.
Basically I'm...
MadBadger,
Oh man, now you've got me confused too.
I found some GTO vs. 1900xt reviews:

This one isn't in english and it seems to contradic the firindsquad data in favor of the GTO...
Thanks for that tip Sparky JJO. I'm seriously considering it. The 1900XT 256mb seems very comparable to the 7900 GTO with the edge maybe going to the 1900xt. I'm sure the 1900xt 256 mb is louder and hotter than the 7900gto, but I wonder how the 7900gto compares to the HIS 1900xt for sound and...
----I've also read about how loud the 1900XT is and was a little concerned with that myself. I guess it depends on the case that you have.
I started a new post about the noisey x1900 256 in this same forum just today. SparkyJJO gave me a link for a one with a quiet fan, but it comes at a...
Looking to upgrade my graphics card and I'm not interested in SLI/Crossfire. I've had my eye on something like a x1900xt 256 or the 512 version. However, people seem to complain a lot about how loud this card is and I'm hoping to keep noise under control. I've looked at the Geforce line, but...
And oh, Madbadger,
You probably saw this arleady but here's a good guide to testing that rig once you put it together:

Hey MadBadger,
I read your latest post under the mid range guide comments. The recap was helpful for me just to hear someone say it out loud. My system goals are a little different than yours as I'm not interested in future proofing. I've bulit a few PCs over the last few years and it...
I was worried about the OCZ... thanks for the warning. Looks like MadBadger found a nice deal on the 2gig version. I'm gonna have to think about it. When you say "you may have to have a 1.8v stick avail to post the bios" are you referring to the problem the S3 has with OCZ or were you...
I think I'll go OCZ Gold 2Gig DDR-800 for $220 (if the price stays long enough for me to make up my mind... he he). I certianly plan to overclock the E6400, but not necessarily the system ram. Just for newbie clarity, if I run the FSB at 400 and double that for 800 for the system ram rated at...
Acanthus,
Thanks for the advice, I really am ready to take it. Looking at some of the cheapest DDR-533 at New egg, $105 (shipped) seems about the going rate for a 1 gig stick of ddr-533, but there is a rebate deal for PQI Power memory that goes for $180 shipped (after rebates). Don't know if...
