Got a P4 2.6C and I plan to run it at 3.2Ghz. [ It has been tested before on another system, ran well, its the malaysian batch L338.
I am getting an abit IS7.

Now the big questions is: Which RAM should i get if i am on a budget?

Thank you!

At least 2x256MB PC3200 and run it at 5:4 ratio. I like Kingston HyperX or Value Ram.

Thanks for the reply!
So the Kingston ValueRam would be ok?

I have access to these :
KVR400X64C3/512 - PC3200 512MB DDR 400MHz Clock 3

KVR400X64C3A/512 PC3200 512MB DDR 400MHz CAS 3-3-3

I am looking to buy 2 x 512mb.

Cheers!

You can use about ANY PC3200 with a 2.6C with a 5:4 ratio, since that equals a 200fsb to the memory.

I would recommend getting a dual channel kit versus two dimms bought separately..

kingston is good
might look at Mushkin's blue line
