I am buying the ram tonight. I just want the better of the two

Buffalo pc2700 or 3200

or

Kingston HyperX pc2700

The sig has the rest of the system specs...ignore the ram, it's still undecided.

<edit> I just ordered the Kingston...if it's wrong, I can always order something else once I get this D**n system running.

depends what fsb you gonna run...
if you are goin 200, then you obviously want the pc3200...

if not, the hyperx is the best choice.

definitely go with pc3200. The faster your ram will give more room l8r for l8r cpu even if you dont o/c

I have to cancel the order Monday morning. I'm going with Kingston HyperX pc3500 for $149 at excaliburpc.com, 2X256 dual. I shouldn't have tried to scrimp with RAM.
Thanks for all the input.

I have heard alot of negative things about Hyperx in dual channel mode though, you might want to talk with someone hear who is running it in dual. I myself dont know exactly, just the word on da street lol.
