OCZ Platinum, or Ballistix (2x1gb) for Biostar Tforce OC..?

Which two of those ram modules should I use.

I'd personally sell 'em both, get a faster 1GB set and put $100 toward your car. ...but that's me.

2GB of RAM is nice to have now, even more so for the future.

I have heard good things about both of those makes; however, I have never used Ballistix so I would have to say OCZ is, in my mind, the sure bet.

if you're going to oc, i think the ballistix would be the best bet. but that might just be eclipse's whoring rubbing off on me

So is a new pair of shoes, but I would not get any of use out of them, sitting in my closet for 6 months...

i agree, and for the same reason

 

[evaseeker]

MMORPGs, BF2, etc...

Those games are now, and RAM is not expensive at this time; so, why not buy for later?

Are you looking for pc3200 or pc4000? If pc4000, the ocz pc4000eb looks great. Look here: http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.aspx?i=2560

I think I'm going to get some myself soon.

If you play those - by all means go for it. If you don't it's a waste of money and a loss of performance.

You don't replace an engine on a car because you will expect it to go out someday. You wait until it actually needs to be replaced.

Bah, it is more cost-effective to buy what you need a few months later, now.

Then again, I build a new machine once every few years. (It is almost sad that I no longer care about standing on the cutting edge of technology, but the only games I play run fine on my current old-generation hardware.) I can see how what you say may hold true if you build a machine every few months to perhaps a year or so.
