    Hi, I need to buy some ram for my mobo
    Looking on memoryC.ie, €60 budget, considering;
    1. ddr2 2x1gig reaper crossfire 5-5-5-15 at €40 here.
    2. ddr3 2x1gig G Skill 7-7-7-18 at €41 here (This one seems to have the best times in my budget and is ready to ship)


    I game, so maybe ddr2 2x2gig would be better, the Kingston HyperX 5-5-5-15 at €58 here.

    I don't really have a clue about ram, so I'm hoping you guys could lend me some insight, thanks.

    Just started a WTF thread on the very subject of DDR3 ptrices this evening. It is not cheap at the moment, 100 Euros for OCZ PC-10600 platinum sticks that cost 70 a few weeks ago. Cheapest 4GB PC-10600 kit I could find on HWVS was 75. Ouch. Bit of a supply shortage according to Solitaire.
