Hi, I was playing the BF2 demo and was getting horrible, horrible lag and stuttering. I have 1 GB of memory running at 225mhz in dual channel, and I'm looking at buying another 1GB set, so I'll have 4x512. Will I still be able to run them at, say 3-3-3-7 1T? Or should I drop the money on 2x1 GB sticks? Or, should I buy 4x512 of the same type/speed of memory and sell my current Gig?
My motherboard, for non-sig-reading people is a P4-S800D, I have a 3.2E @ ~3.6 Ghz, my motherboard has 4 DIMM slots and supports up to 4GB of RAM. Of course, I only want 2. Will having 2 gigs force me to cut back on my overclock (oh noes!!!)? I'm only running 225mhz FSB, so I should just be able to relax the timings and run 2GB at that speed.
Since RAM is pretty cheap still, and I have enough money to get some REALLY good RAM, what woud you recommend? I'd like a TCCD or variant, not BH or CH-5, since my mobo doesn't supply but 2.85vdimm (no I dont' want a booster, thanks anyway). Should I get Corsair XMS pro, some Patriot TCCD (I have 1 GB of patriot non-TCCD at the moment), or should I get some G-Skill, or some OCZ TCCD stuff? What would you recommend for 2GB of memory (4x512) that will do 225 Mhz at 1T and be happy?
Thanks in advance!
