hey so im thinking of changing my 2 stick of 256 PC3200 kingston ram with 2 sticks of samsung at the same speed, what do you guys think? is it worth it? also the samsungs are rated 3cl at that speed (400mhz) but i think i can lower that.. anyways any thoughts would be appreciated thanks :)
 
I doubt you would notice any difference in performance... :rolleyes:

I am assuming you have dual channel memory... save your money and buy two 512 sticks so you will have a 1GB of RAM. ;)

ya, what he said. You'll be losing out otherwise with a potential "non-upgrade". Samsung pc3200 isn't any better than Kingston 3200 (may be worse)
 
okay i was asking this because i saw at the asus's website at my mobo's specs a7n8x rev 2.0 that it recommends samsung etc, but no value ram! just a diff kingston model, the samsungs are the same i found at the shop..
 
Save your money and buy 1GB of RAM from Mushkin, Corsair, or Kingston that can run tight 2-2-2-5 timings.

The upgrade your looking at with the Samsung definately isn't worth it.
