Just tried this again,it finds my 2 sticks and then asks for more information asking manufacture details etc.
Can't supply the info i can email them.
But they would only advise on crucial memory,i am looking across the spectrum if you know what i mean.
Thanks

V8 animal,what is your system Intel or Amd?if both sets of memory your looking at give memory timings,thats where your answer to performance will stem from,for example if its an Amd 939 skt processeor system, then i can tell you tight timings at high frequencies are the key to performance,especially for gaming.

Hi thanks for the advice.
You've got me think now just about to buy 2gb OCZ Platinium memory OCZ 2GB DDR400 CL2.0 DUAL CHANNEL PLATINUM XTC EDITION RET
[OCZP4002GK] DDR 400MHz PC3200 2.0, 2-3-2-5 Chipset
This has low timings and suitable for amd.
AMD SKT 939
There's this one aswell.
OCZ 2GB DDR400 CL2.0 DUAL CHANNEL GOLD GX XTC RET
DDR (Dual Channel) 2GB (2 x 1GB) 400MHz PC3200 2.0, 2-3-3-8 Chipset
Your advice now?
Thanks
