I'm building a comp for my little brother to take to college. His budget is a little too tight to be comfortable, so I'm looking for some good ram to add in. We will probably go with a cheap tbred/barton and get as much out of it as we can. I think 512 is about right, and I'm thinking 2*256 to take advantage of dual channel. Paying top dollar for premium ram is out of the question, so I'm looking for something solid that will do, say, 400mhz at aggressive timings. Any suggestions? Geil has some decent priced sticks on newegg. Are they any good? The main thing I want to avoid is memory that has been overclocked by the seller (such as OCZ). Also, if you have a chance stop by here to make suggestions on the rest of the system. Thanks.
