Thread Starter 
thinking about getting a 3790; I'd want 2 gigs of ram in it. I'll probably buy the system from PC Torque. Should I go with their ram, or perhaps Crucial? I want really stable memory...I do a lot of 3D graphics work and can't have it crashing on me

Premium: OCZ, Mushkin, Corsair

Quality: Kingston, Crucial

Bargain: Adata, Buffalo (good), Kingmax, Apacer.


There are plenty of other choices, but this is just a basic breakdown of different price points.

I dont really know if paying for the premium ram in a laptop is worth it since you cant even change the timings in most bios's. Premium ram is more for the overclocker in the desktop market.

I would go with whatever you can get for the best price (as long as its a name you have heard of) If it was a desktop you were talking about, i would say premium all the way.

And for the record, the 855 chipset in the 3790 wont recognize anything higher than pc2700. You can put in pc3200, but it only runs it at ddr333 speeds.

It works fine, it just underclocks automatically to pc2700.

It's probably a typo - the specs on the main mobile page list it as having PC2700 ram.

Or else 3200 is cheaper these days. I don't think so, but...

kingmax works fine.
and yep, only 2700 ram. others will work but there's no point because it won't go above 333 mhz.
