After reading Tom article on 3 nForce review. He mentioned dual DDR 333 is best suited for this board, however in the end he also mentioned that for power user they should get DDR400. Now i'm confused, which one should I get?

Can I get ddr400 and run at exact spec as DDR333? Or is getting DDR333 prove to be faster? I need some explaination

Not really sure however if it were me I would get the 400. After all if your getting this board I bet you want to hit 200FSB right. At least that way your not stressing the ram.

I just spent half an hour writing you a long reply explaining everything you ever want to know about RAM and when I submit it, it got lost :mad:

Anyway
Basically I suggest you get 2 sticks of Corsair PC3500C2. That is the very best RAM available on the market. it is guaranteed to work at speeds up to DDR433 (213mhz)!!! For 2x256 mb it would cost you $240, for 2x512mb it would cost you $460 (I dont think you would need this much RAM though, 2x256 is plenty)

You can order it here (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=manufactory&catalog=147&manufactory=1666&DEPA=1&sortby=14&order=1)
