4gb DDR2 vs 2gb DDR3
 

So I was lurking around newegg tonight, and I was wondering...whats better? 4 gigs of DDR2 or 2gigs of DDR3?

4 gigs of DDR2.

I would base it on the future, wait for price to get lower for DDR3, or think of using it on another new motherboard later on, or not plan on using the old ram for the future.

If you have the money get DDR3, if you don't, 4gigs is the better idea.

Okay guys, thanks. I think il go with the 4 gigs of DDR2 and sell that down the road and buy 4 gigs of DDR3 when the price drops.

But uhh... you'll have to sell your motherboard and buy a new one too, because DDR3 isn't compatible with DDR 2 boards, and vice versa.

...and your CPU...and depending on the new motherboards slots, maybe your GPU...
and if you current motherboard doesn't have SATA...maybe your HDDS to invest in new SATA ones...

What's your budget for RAM?

Re: 4gb DDR2 vs 2gb DDR3
 

Lets just say I wont be spending 150+ on it. I would like to keep it under 100.

Here's something for a little over $100:
