Now I get it. I didn't vote for any company because,
1. we can't find any performance memory in Sri Lanka (only value ones)
2. I think it's a waste of money, because they are soooo expensive than the value versions, with a negligible performance increase. you can get better performance if you spent that excessive money on a better CPU or a video card.

If it was for ValueRAM, then I would have chosen Kingston, because my DDR2-667 can work at DDR2-800 speed without increasing the voltages (1.8V default) nor loosening the timings. This applies to all the 3 RAMs I have in my PC. :yes:

    :yes:
    strange combination:rolleyes:
    doesnt Dual channel DDR technology require two identical rams been installed in the two RAM slots?

    However, if you really want to know the fastest RAM out there, it's the OCZ Flex XLC: PC2-9200. They can work at 1172MHz at 2.35V (0.55V more than default for DDR2- yikes!) However, most enthusiast level of RAM can eve work at 1300MH on nForce 680SLi chipset based motherboards. Weird!

    Nope, at least on new motherboards. You only need to have identical amount of RAM (with same density chips) on each channel. In may case, it's 512+512 on channel 1 and 1024 on channel 2.
