i want to buy 4gb OCZ 1333 ram but its says : made for i5 and i7 (i have amd x4 core)

will it work?

[PCWizKid]

@Sn0okkz OCZ has other memory kits that work on AMD systems better. This kit will still work, however I would look at the OCZ site for specific kits that you know they say work for both Intel and AMD.

i have order exact these ram memory but the 6gb kit to my m4aa79t deluxe and X4 955 BE :)

[PCWizKid]

@tredecker , carefull you dont want to accidentally get the Triple channel version which is for the Intel Core i7 boards. Make sure you got Dual Channel DDR3

[TheMRamstaff]

u compared 4gb to 2gb?

is that more useless?

[PCWizKid]

@TheMRamstaff, you missed the point. I showed how it made a little difference only in using 4GB of this OCZ ram compared to a 2GB at higher latencies. That means that you can get the same performance with 2GB of other better rated DDR2.

i don't know that much about laptops or computers but can i put it in my fujitsu siemens amilo d7830? it has pentium 4 and the guy i bought it from said that it did 2.8 ghz. will it work with 2 x 2gb of modules?

[rockhopper123452]

hey um i got a old pentuum 4 and i want it to run really fast (im useing a i5 at the moment) but i want to know if i add a i7 processor can i add more ram than 2 gb's?

[bomberfun1]

What set would you recommend for AMD Phenom XII 555? What is the difference between DDR2, DDR3, 1600, PC3 12800, higher PC3 and lower PC3, or even PC2?

@nemcsabesz

yes, I can: don't put it on 1600Mhz..

You won't notice a performance increase anyway. 1333Mhz with CL on 6-6-6-20 is very nice.

@chubbsmaloyHD

Do keep in mind that it will never give you a 100% increase since the software which devides the data is never optimal. But its getting closer. On the other hand, the GPU's are getting so fast that its hardly nescessary to get 2 graphics cards. This 4890 for example already has 2 GPU's if I'm not mistaking.. And I've got 2 XfX 5870 2GB in crossfire. Its overkill.. but it works like a charm. its basicly for the non-hippy gamers amungst us who don't care about the electrical bill

@chubbsmaloyHD

Well when a videocard creates the image you see on the screen, it can get pretty busy in its GPU. Sometimes the card can't cope with the amount of data it needs to process. Which is why, for the more demanding games, Gfx cards manufacturers have invented Crossfire and SLI. What it does, it deviding the data amongst more cards (often 2). So you've got 2 GPUs showing you your game which often gives better framerates and allowes you to play most games on their best video quality.

[EliteGhost001]

Well I just ordered a tripple channel kit for my pc. I've got 12GB A-DATA gaming series RAM right now and it sucks balls. Nothing but BSoDs and I've tried everything to fix it. Even 3x2 GB won't work. it's always code 0x0000001A or, when I forget to change the voltage after over or downclocking: 0x00000050... I'fed up with it. I hope these guys will do the job.

[baddagger159]

will this work for i3?

[wolfpackflt670]

when i overclock my cpu my ram goes to 11,11,11,28 why is this?

[zx169]

Today I bought 6 sticks (for tri channel 12GB total) of OCZ with clock speed of 686 at 1.65 volts. Would you know what voltage to set it to? Or is it the same as yours?
