Ricky R asked:


I’m trying to increase load times for my game. I had 256 2700 then without knowledge i bought a 512 2100…So it didn’t make a difference. What company makes the best memory for games?

    Whatever fits your motherboard’s best performance is best. If your board maxes out with 2700, no point buying faster (unless it costs no more or 2700 isn’t available) cos it won’t go faster.

    All ‘better’ names get you (generally) is more reliable, not really any that is ‘better’ for games or ‘worse’ for games. More is better mostly.

    You can only fit memory that your motherboard supports manufactures are irrelevant, as for games fit as much as you mother board will take you can’t have enough memory take it up to 1 gig or more if possible

    i use sandisk 3200 i have two 512s. if i had the money i would have gotten to 1gb’s. the more memory the better try getting a faster front bus speed like you said 2700 push that to 3200 or i think there was 47 now i dont remember.

    the best memory is the new DDR2 memory.
    however this is only if your computer supports it

    I would say Corsair.

    However, when you are purchasing RAM it is helpful to know what type your mainboard supports.

    The easiest way to see way your PC supports is to shut it off and open the case to see what came with it. You’ll want to have at least a gig if not more of total RAM for todays apps.

    As a rule the higher the number (2100, 2700 etc.) the faster the RAM, but if your mobo doesn’t support it…the ram may not even work.

    If your using 2100 RAM your PC will clock down to that speed if you paired it with the 2700, or it might not even work at all.

    Best bet is to get the same kind of RAM that cam with your PC. 2700 isn’t all that bad, but 2100 is slower.

    Good Luck!

    You might be able to use PC3200. Check your mobo specs.
    The best brand would be OCZ

    The best DDR2 ECC but only if your motherboard supports it!!
