    Good Timings?

    I might buy this stick of RAM for around 140$ canadian.
    http://www.ocztechnology.com/product..._pc_3200_rev_3

    are those any good timings? I'm looking for 512mb DDR400, but has good enough timings so that I can use it later to OC.

    I'm looking for something under 175$.

    Forget the timings, is the stick compatible with your mobo? That is the important thing to worry about.

    If you board supports DDR, you shouldn't have a problem with using that. As far as the timings are concerned, its about average.

    Yes it is.

    I think you were looking at the ad for the 550mhz ram :P

    No, where on the ad does it say which mobos are supported by this RAM?

    Not all RAM is created equal. There are hundreds of variations in RAM design for a good reason, there are hundreds of different mobo designs that use specific RAM designs.

    I thougth it was just straight forward. My mobo supports PC3200, so I should be able to run PC3200...

    My mobo is a KT6 Delta.

    Not all RAM will work in every system. There are subtle difference. That is why there are hundreds of different versions of DDR3200 RAM sticks out there.

    You need to check with a website such as crucial.com to see EXACTLY which part numbers will work on your motherboard and then buy only one of the part numbers. Try not to mix and match to reduce future problems.
