As long as you don't get some no name brand of ram, you really can't go wrong. Its all basically the same now a days.

Gskill, corsair, samsung, patriot, kingston, crucial. Those are the better ones that i can name off the top of my head.

Naming things off the top of your head is in no way to recommend a part.. *facepalm*.

Really because i just named some really good brands... not to mention when its a quick question, i'm not gonna go and do heavy research every time when i already know the information.

Even good brands have bad products. The only thing people should be relying on are reviews. Even then, it's not impossible for you to end up with a dud.

PS: There are tons of great "no-name brands." So it's pretty bad advice to just advise getting things from more popular brands.

That is very true and i can agree with that :smile: As far as no name brands, i personally stay away from them but i know people who use them.

This time I am really not dead. Currently rewriting a majority of the guide. Formatting will still suck due to the BBCode limitations.

EDIT: May 17, 2013
The Introduction up to Processors has been nearly fully rewritten. There is still more to come and I will do my best to keep anyone interested informed. Hopefully all these updates will not take longer than a week.

Hey Homer, are you on OCN? I'm getting the nagging feeling I've asked you this before, but I don't remember. I do know there is somebody with that name on there though. If it is, how is that Catleap? What did you pay for it?

I am not dead. But I will probably not be updating this. I am way to fucking lazy.

No problem. Regardless vast majority of the thread is still up to date to an extent as the parts and their jobs haven't really changed, just has newer models out.

Does your RAM speed matters in term of FPS gaining due to videogames running on ?
