Good RAM?

[lucid]

Hey guys,

I'm not going to be overclocking. Is this a good 1GB stick to buy?

uhm... yeah.. that one rocks... look at all the nice colors...

I think you forgot somethere there.

Don't know what kind of system you are going to use it for, but some systems have problems with 1GB sticks. Might be safer to just get 2x512.

No problems with 1GB sticks here. What motherboard and brand memory are you going to use?

Hahaha oh man do I feel like an idiot!

Hmmm, I sure don't want problems. If I get just 1x512 could there be issues with different brands of RAM? I already have a stick of PC3200 512MB Samsung right now.

So this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146998

Thanks!

Motherboard is Asus A7v600

I'd go with these sticks. I use them in another PC and their good sticks for the money.

If I got one of the Corsair 512MB sticks, would think there could be issues with having 2 different brands of memory?

There's always a chance. The OCZ ram you were looking at was more expensive than the Corsair ram I linked to. I would go with the twin sticks of Corsair and either sell the Samsung or keep it as a back up.

I'd go with the cheaper Corsair too.
Of course you might just give a single 512MB stick a try. I've been able to run different brand(and using different chips) in many different mainboards. Like Niner said, it can give you problems, but then again so can 2 of the same types of sticks.

If it turns out you can't get it stable you can always buy another 512MB Corsair stick. Getting 2 seperate sticks will cost you a few buck more, but if you just have to buy one you'll save some bucks.

Are these single sided sticks? I'm looking at an EPoX mobo and the one con that everybody mentions is that if you have more than a single stick then you have to have singled sided sticks.
