I'm going to buy 2gb of Ram within the next week.


Ok, here's the question.

Should i buy 2gb of Corsiar 3500 LL guaranteed to run at 1T

OR

Should i buy 2gb of Corsiar 4000 XMS (non LL) that runs at slower speeds.



I can overclock my fx 55 chip with either, but i'm wondering if i'll see better performance with tighter 1T memory clocks and a lower clocked CPU OR 2T memory clocks with a higher clocked CPU. I had 2gb of value memory but i could Overclock with it AT ALL. :( But EQ2 ran smooth as silk with 2gb of RAM.

I'm on water, so there's no worry of overheating and my fx 55 hits 240 np with Corsair XMS LL with loose memory timings. BUT not with 1T timings. It crashes over 215 with 1T timings.

Any input would be appreciated. :)

I'm playing EQ2 mostly with some Morrowind, Fear, HL2, Quake 4, and Doom3. My main concern though is EQ2.. 1gb just isn't citting it.
 
Sorry, i keep forgetting its not in my Sig... i shall fix that. :)
