Ok, so, i am looking at a ga7n400-l1, throwing a xp2500 (barton) and was going hmm dual channel memory..
So, my questions are..
1)you need to have pc3200+ to have it be dual channel according to the manual. So, do you need 3200+"dual channel" (avertised this way)memory, or just pc3200 memory
2) Do brand names need to be the same?
3) What the hell is the difference between "True" and anything that doesnt list true? Should i only buy "True"
? I am guessing yes on this one, but not sure
4) Main question.. Do you need to have your processor running at 400 to match the pc3200 400 to have dual ddr, or not? My theory is, 333 processor sets mem to 333, and i dont understand how dual ddr works, so my theory makes sense to the idiot (myself). Can you run a 333 processor, while having dual ddr pc3200? Or will i need to have a 400 bus speed proc?
5) Random question.. Unless im oc'ing it, is it worthwhile to throw heat spreaders on them?
6) Does brand matter - or is memory memory?
7) Will you try to not flame me for being a noob? Tnx~!
