i'm building a new computer, and i'm stuck on the amount of ram. i'd like ot get 1X512 Mushkin black level 2 (BH-5) pc3500, then get another when i can afford it.
i may be abel to afford it when i get the first, depending on a few other tings.
However, in an athlon, dual channel doesnt gain that much speed. would 1 gig be worth it? would this be better for newer games? (i'd like to not have to upgrade to a new computer in 2 or 3 years to play a game)
Also, wouldnt a BH-5 on pc3200 be about the same as a bh-5 on pc3500? the same mushkin at 3200 is just a few bucks cheaper, but if its the same chip, why not?
