Hi guys.
I'm thinking about upgrading my 2GB (2 x 1GB modules) of Team Elite 800mhz RAM to 4GB (2 x 2GB) of some different RAM, instead of just buying another 2GB of the same RAM. The things I don't like about the RAM I have now is that it's rather generic, doesn't have a lifetime warranty, and will fill all my RAM slots if I get another 2 modules, making me unable to upgrade more later, without getting a new mobo or new RAM.
The main thing that inspired me to upgrade was an article I read that was written my Corsair about the benefits of having 4gb over 2gb.
What I am thinking about getting is OCZ Reaper HPC 800mhz RAM. What really draws me in is the sexy heatpipes and heatspreader together, along with the overclockability and good price of it. I've never overclocked in my life but with RAM like that I don't think I'll be able to stand not overclocking it.
My question for you guys is do you think the Reaper memory is a good choice? I'll be buying from here so take a look and if there is something else there that you think is better for the price then I'd like to know (along with a reason why). The Reaper memory is the coolest looking stuff there though so if I don't listen to your suggestions then don't take it personally
P.S. Is this RAM likely to work with my ASUS P5K SE motherboard?
