    Don't bother with DDR2, the latency is too high to be worth it unless you get very high speeds which you're motherboard would not support. 3500 is good stuff and I trust OCz. The only thing I'd watch out for is the fact that he's a just launched Ebayer. I realize everyone starts out there but for components I'd be a little cautious.

    I don't really want to buy DDR2, I just wanted to make sure that PC-3500 does not automatically means DDR2.

    The price is a bit too good to be true but is it worth missing?
    I mean, this is 512MB of OC'able fast memory for (at the moment) still under a tenner!!!!!

    What should I do? WHAT SHOULD I DO?????

    :stupid:

    Wait till the bidding raises, if it's still low at the end jump in at the last second and steal the deal. Otherwise it's a bit risky as those pics could be from a site that reviewed the same memory. DDR2 will always be noted as PC2 or DDR2 so don't worry about that.

    Got cold feet in the end.... :eek:hah:

    But most pairs (there were a bout 6 or seven) went for about £20-£25.


    Never mind, there is always next time..... :p

    Glad you liked my advice, thanks:)
    Don't worry about it, there will be many more deals to come, if you wait a bit I'm sure you'll find a great deal from an honest Ebayer with hundreds of positive feedback ratings. Good luck!
