so, which one do you like? DDR or DDR2? DDR performs slightly better than DDR2 in some areas, so i'd go with DDR.

Btw, anyone willing to sell any 2nd-hand 512mb DDR2 ram sticks? One of my sticks just snapped, and the warranty has expired. Trying to look for a cheap one right now.

DDR1 is good but DDR2 is getting better by the day.
Besides by the end of this year, DDR1 will be obsolete.

Your RAM snapped? I thought all RAMs have lifetime warranty?

If you want some cheap DDR2 sticks, try browsing through LYN forums.

prem, wanna ask sumting..
last time value DDR RAM got some "special" chipset like Hynix D series, BH5....those are highly OCable compare to those Apacer,Kingston chipset..

how abt current value DDR2 ?? got any chipset that we can find is better?
pcmoddingmy
Yes... the best chipset for DDR2 is currently Micron D9.
I've seen a few Kingston Value RAM DDR2-800 carry these Micron D9 chipset. So start hunting for it!
Elpida is not bad either and could overclock up to DDR-1000 at 2.3V only.

ok thx...
but DDR2800 which is rated at PC6400 is oledi over my budget laa..
i oni affort till value DDR2667..

well, crap. Prices for a 512MB DDR2 stick have just gone up. Now i really can't afford one.

Anyone willing to sell a 512MB DDR2 stick to me? There's no way in hell i'm going to rake up RM240 for one of them, since i don't have a part-time job right now.

There's a guy from Penang over at lowyat.net selling Micron D9 512MB DDR2 800 for only RM120/- per piece. It's used, but at that price it's unbelievable.

A lot of people already bought from him, so you might be too late even if you are interested because I suspect he might have run out of stock due to popular demand.

bah, i need a ddr2 stick with specs similar to the one i'm using, Apacer. That micron D9 won't match with my stick (i always run dual channel)

Just buy 2 pcs Micron at RM240/- and sell off your single Apacer for RM200/-.
