Mushkin vs Patriot

[Bazikstano]

Hello, wich one would you recommend me?

The Patriot

or the Mushkin


The patriot is only 5 dollars cheaper and has a bit lower latency (2-3-2-5 vs 2-3-2-6).

I have a DFI LANPARTY UT NF4 and an OPTERON 165

Both should work well, I would probably opt for the mushkin because of the lower voltage requirement (2.6V versus 2.7V). Lower voltage usually means broader motherboard compatibility (some motherboards won't boot if the memory requires higher voltage than stock).

 

[Bazikstano]

Aaahaaa...but with the DFI I have no problem with the voltage..
AH! another posibility could be this one

[18 Is Number 1]

Try these for $37 after MIR: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820227210

they are both terrible... 2GB is way too low. Get 2x2GB. the voltages are also insanely high which will be problematic. the only benefit is the slightly lower timings, which matter very VERY little to the actual overall SYSTEM performance.

oh wait, its an old opteron system with DDR1, not DDR2, there is no 2x2GB for you to get...

mmm... low timing ram is not gonna do it for you on an opty... but upgrading ram amount would be useful. don't worry about their "speeds", worry about their size and price. And as for voltage, they should all work at stock voltages with looser timings (and in fact, should default to it. requiring you to manually input those... aggressive timings)
