Okay guys, my friend and I are building a very nice computer with the following specs. (He knows ALOT more about computers than I do), but I was curious on what kind of responses i'd get on here:
*Cooler Master-Wave Master all-aluminum case.
*ASUS nVidia nForce2-ST A7N8X Deluxe motherboard.
*AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (400 FSB) processor.
*Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 (160gig. 7200rpm 8mb cache; SATA 150Mb/sec) harddrive.
*ATI RADEON 9800 (128Mb) video card.
Haven't really chosen the following YET:
550watt power supply (not sure on brand)
Watercooling...KIT?/Custom?
CD-RW/DVD Players
Fans/Heatsinks
i'm curious, does the BRAND of memory really matter? I'm going all out on this computer within a budget *if that makes sense..and what i'm thinking is a generic brand that makes:
*(2) Sticks of PC3200 1gig. RAM.
*(2) Gold Heat-spreaders.
My main question is, for this very "complete" system we're making (AND overclocking 3.2ghz to hopefully 4.2ghz), does it matter if this 2gigs of RAM is a brand name or no. Thanks all..any input on my question or general would be VERY appreciated.
